Lifters For Lifters

Lifters For Lifters is a collaborative campaign started by Zeena "Wek" Hernandez, an Olympic weightlifter from Brooklyn, New York along with Chasing Kilos and Crossfit Prospect Heights. She brought on 2016 Rio Olympics silver medalist in weightlifting, Hidilyn Diaz, and co-founder of Collective Culture, Julius Naranjo, to help collect and distribute weightlifting shoes to the youth in the Philippines.

Last year, 41 pairs of shoes were donated and distributed to various provinces across the Philippines. This year, we hope to not only collect shoes but to raise monetary funds so we may purchase fitted sizes for the youth.
