Join the sweatiest 30-day challenge EVER

Walk, run, wheel or dance for 21-minutes a day this June and raise funds for life-changing Rainbow support services.

Right now, schools, workplaces, and even doctors’ offices aren’t safe for many in our community - and it’s putting lives at risk. LGBTQIA+ people face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and preventable illnesses like syphilis, mpox, and HIV.

But you can help change that - one glorious, sweaty workout at a time!

Every move you make will supercharge your own wellbeing, and every dollar you raise will change lives.

👉 Sign up today and Sweat with Pride!

Your sweat will change lives – just ask Mika

“I completed my transition in 2020 and had been single for several years. I really wanted to start socialising as my authentic self, but I was paralysed by fear - fear of rejection, fear of STIs, fear that I was too old, too trans and that no one would ever want me.”

But because of supporters like you, Mika found a lifeline - Burnett Foundation’s peer support group, Empowering Yourself. And it changed everything.

“Hearing others share their stories gave me courage I didn’t know I had - it was like having ten personal cheerleaders reminding me I wasn’t alone."

This is the impact of your sweat. Your fundraising powers programs that help people like Mika feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Every drop of sweat, every dollar raised - it all makes a difference.
