Deadlift for Down Under – Scotland rains support for Australia

Product Description

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

Supporters

– Over a billion. The amount of animals that we have lost in the Australian bushfires so far.

– 18.6 million. The amount of hectares of Australian land that have gone up in flames.

– 2683. The amount of homes that have been lost.

– 29. The lives we have lost.

– 1. Scott Morison. The ‘leader’ of Australia and the reason all these statistics will have grown by the time this is posted.

Australia is in crisis.

For those who aren’t aware, our government doesn’t believe in climate change and therefore won’t adapt any policies to reflect the changes in heat that are fueling these fires. As a result, we have thousands and thousands of volunteer firefighters putting their lives on the line every day without any compensation from the government. This is because Scott Morrison doesn’t see it as priority and I quote, “does not want to be distracted by this issue at the moment”.

Well Scott Morrison, I am definitely distracted and on February 23rd I will be holding a fundraiser at Elysium gym in Leith, to raise money for our strong as fire fighting volunteers and all the victims of the bushfires. Because this is a priority and they need our help.

This fundraiser will be in the form of a deadlift competition and it’s going to be a bloody great day! We have lots of local businesses getting involved so there will be some amazing prizes and raffles going round.

Raffle tickets can also be bought now with the prizes being pretty flipping incredible as well as more to be announced closer to the day:

They include:

The tickets prices are:

Raffles can be bought by donating her and letting me know so I can put some tickets aside for you. Alternatively, you can just get in touch with me here, on social media or my email is [email protected].

For those wanting to compete, get in asap as there are limited spots available. Everyone is welcome to compete! Sumo, Conventional – Beginners, Advanced – we’d love to have you all.**

For those competing in the deadlift competition it’s a £15 entry fee. For everyone supporting, donations of any kind are welcome. Nothing is too little and certainly nothing is too much!

So lifters get training, bakers get baking, everyone get donating and I will see you all at Deadlift for Downunder.

** Spots are now all filled, but there is a waitlist so please contact me if you would like to be placed on it.
