Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow 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 (youth) have attempted suicide.

So, this June I’m fighting discrimination with perspiration, and I've committed to exercising for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.

 I'm going to try and raise $500, but it would be amazing if I could raise $1000!

This cause means a lot to me. I’d be SO GRATEFUL if you could chip in to help me reach my goal. Every dollar I raise will fund life-changing mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders.

Thank you sooooo much ❤️

My Updates

One week in

Saturday 8th Jun
One week in, and while I'm feeling like I haven't done enough, having only been to the gym twice this week, I'm doing ok. Charging it up with two hours of lawnmowing Saturday (which was offset by a cream doughnut)
Thank you to everyone who has donated, as well as those who have likedd and shared- you are the real rock stars here 😍

Here we go, and it's only May

Wednesday 1st May
Tonight I signed up, and a couple of hours later I am feeling pressure to do pushups, as my lovely community have already sponsored me to my target! Woohoo! LESSGO!
