Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈

As a non-binary bisexual person, this cause is deeply personal to me. I’ve felt what it’s like to not feel safe being myself, in schools, workplaces, and even medical settings. It’s exhausting always having to navigate systems that weren’t built with people like me in mind.

Too many in our Rainbow community are still being left behind. We face higher rates of mental health struggles, suicide, and illnesses like syphilis, mpox, and HIV - not because of who we are, but because of the stigma and discrimination we live with every day.

So this June, I’m sweating it out, exercising 30 minutes every day to raise money for services that actually show up for us. Services that save lives, provide care without judgment, and help people feel seen and supported, like I wish I had more of growing up.

If you’re able to chip in, it would mean so much. Truly. Every dollar goes towards building a future where people like me don’t have to fight just to be safe, healthy, and heard.

Thank you for being in my corner. ❤️
