Hello, my name is Josh Porter, and I am the coach for Special Olympic Powerlifting Athlete Dave Githutu! In May, Dave qualified for the Amateur World Powerlifting Congress’ World Championships in Manchester, England. Dave will be competing in the Junior 18–19-year-old division. This championship is not the Special Olympics, so he will compete against all lifters in his weight class. Dave weighs only 110 pounds, but at Nationals, he totaled 595 pounds combined in the squat, bench press, and deadlift! Any help to cover the cost of the flights, hotel, and food will be much appreciated!
