In heavy times, we lift heavier. We asked this year's lifters why they're participating, and their answers say a lot about what makes this event so special. Sure, there's the thrill of hitting a big lift, but there's also community, solidarity, and showing up for Trans+ folks when it matters. Now it's your turn to show up! Support our lifters as they raise funds for Trans+ communities across the Midwest through PFund Foundation's Transcend campaign. 💖 Head to the link in our bio to donate or support a lifter! 📅 Saturday, October 24 | 10 AM–2 PM 📍 The Hook and Ladder Theater (@thehookmpls) #DropDeadliftGorgeous #DDDG2026 #TransJoy #MinneapolisEvents
