Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow communities! 🌈
LGBTTQIA+ individuals in New Zealand are more likely to experience anxiety and depression, experience higher rates of bullying and harassment, are more likely to rent, have lower personal disposable income, and continue to stay closeted in our workplaces, sports teams, and schools.
This June I’m choosing to fight discrimination with perspiration. I'm making a commitment to get moving for 21 minutes every single day to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
This cause is personal to me, particularly given current events such as the defacing of the rainbow flags on Karangahape Road and Gladstone Road.
If you'd like to celebrate Global Pride Month this year, please help me raise funds to support our rainbow communities. By donating, you're not only helping fund life-changing mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders, you're showing our rangatahi that New Zealanders want to build a safe space where they can be their true selves.
Ngā mihi nui, and happy Pride!
