Lift Huron hopes to lift
teens to safety with
donations to local charities
On Jan. 16, the members
of Lift Huron disbursed its
annual savings to local char-
• ities, organizations, and fam-
ilies dealing with medical
expenses. The non-profit
Olympics weightlifting club
for teens raises money
throughout the year by host-
ing quarterly weightlifting
competitions, organizing
clothing fundraisers and
donating their club mem-
bership fees to the fund. The
teens then donate their
raised funds to local chari-
ties and organizations. This
year the teens allocated their
funds to the All Points Chari-
table Fund, Safe Homes for
Youth, the Huron Respite
Network, the Huron branch
of the OSPCA and Hunter
Costello and his family. The
club has also reserved funds
to offer two Steve Darbyson
Memorial Awards to Grade 8
students in June.
Lift Huron began in Janu-
ary 2014 to honour the
memory of Darbyson, who
passed away in 2011 after a
courageous battle with
ALS. His strength, generos-
ity and dedication to
coaching youth inspired
the idea to have a charita-
ble teen weightlifting club
where youth can learn to
lift weights safely and, at
the same time, give back to
the community. To date,
Lift has donated $4,500 in
Darbyson's memory to
date.
Lift Huron operates out of
the Menesetung CrossFit
gym, located at 199 Anglesea
Street, Goderich, where
teens practice the two Olym-
pic Lifts: the snatch and the
clean and jerk. For more

program, please contact
