I’m Helping Kids Be Mighty
Headline: 10 Million lbs of Dinnie Stone Lifts for Women’s and Children’s Health
Strength is a metric that truly matters only when it serves those in need. Over the next decade, this project is committing to a 10-million-pound total lifting goal to raise $100,000 for women’s health and children’s hospitals.
These institutions provide critical care and a future for the most vulnerable members of our community. This fundraiser is about ensuring they have the resources to continue that work.
The Mission: Every lift of the Dinnie Stones (734 lbs replicas) will contribute to this total. The goal is to move 10 million pounds of iron in their most challenging form (raw, beltless, and strapless) to truly earn every cent pledged. If the hands or back start to give out, the mission won't; we’ll use the necessary tools to keep the lifts—and the donations—moving forward without delay."
The Impact:
The Goal: $100,000 for hospital resources and patient care.
The Math: Each lift represents a $7.34 contribution ($0.01 per lb) plus donor matches.
The Commitment: We will pursue the 10-million-pound milestone until the $100,000 goal is met and exceeded, regardless of how long it takes.
Whether you can contribute a toonie or a larger pledge, every cent goes directly toward life-saving care and health equity. Let’s turn heavy lifting into real-world help.

Q&A:
Q: Why do some donations vary (e.g., $8.28 vs. $7.34 per lift)?
A: The core goal is a $0.01 per pound donation ratio. While the standard replica weight is 734 lbs ($7.34), we occasionally utilize a symmetric 828 lb setup. This allows for a higher volume of weight moved per lift, accelerating the progress toward the $100,000 fundraising milestone while maintaining the integrity of the "penny-per-pound" pledge.
Q: What is the significance of the equipment being used?
A: We use specialized Dinnie Stone replica handles to ensure the lifts are as challenging and authentic as possible. To reach a 10-million-pound goal, the equipment must be versatile; we use loading extensions to safely exceed standard weight capacities, ensuring that every session maximizes the total poundage "earned" for these charities.
Q: How are the lifts verified to ensure donor trust?
A: Transparency is a priority. Lifts are primarily performed at public facilities like Club16 Tsawwassen and Evolve Strength Downtown Vancouver. Using commercial platforms ensures that all weight plates are standard and all lifts are performed in a public, verifiable environment, giving donors full confidence that every pound claimed has been truly moved. Additionally, all funds are handled directly by CanadaHelps (re: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/dinnie-stone-lifts-for-womens-and-childrens-health/).
