Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our rainbow and takatāpui communities! 🌈
Our schools, workplaces, and doctors’ offices are still not safe places for many Rainbow New Zealanders and it’s putting lives at risk.
More than half our rainbow whānau have experienced mental illness. One in five of our rainbow rangatahi have attempted suicide. And life changing STIs like syphilis, mpox and HIV are still far too common. Things need to change.
So, this June I’m fighting discrimination with perspiration, and I've committed to exercising for at least 30 minutes every day to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
This cause means a lot to me. If you are in a position to support, thank you so much! Every dollar we raise will fund life-changing mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders.
