On 10 December 2023 I will be attempting a max Shanks (aka Dinnie) lift during Max Out for Mind, an annual competition which raises money for the local branch of the mental health charity Mind. The current women's world record in my federation (the International All-Round Weightlifting Association) is 231.2kg, so I will be aiming to add 22kg to my previous best of 210kg and hit 232 or more.

If my fundraising goal is met, I will do so in some variety of Christmas-themed fancy dress - suggestions welcome. NB IAWA rules sadly prevent me from wearing a hat.
