Weight lifters at a local gym are taking pledges to raise money for cancer research.
Xconditioning is holding its third annual Pennies for Pounds event on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"Our goal is to get a penny donated for every pound lifted, every tire flipped, or every burpee burped," said trainer Jason Cook.
There is another way to help raise money - by participating.
"You can test your strength in the deadlift - an exercise where you pick a barbell up off the floor, or you can flip a tire as many times as you can in a minute, or do as many burpees as you can in a minute," Cook said.
"The Xconditioning Team will be there to keep everyone safe and give everyone the best chance for success."
All proceeds will go directly to the BC Cancer Society.
Xconditioning is located at 505-2nd Ave. For more information, call 250-613-2436 or visit www.xconditioning.com.
