Why I’m Sweating with Pride
Inspired by my brave and amazing transgender teen daughter, I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow communities! 💦🌈
I've always been an ally, but my daughter's journey has made me so much more aware of the challenges facing the LGBTQIA+ communities.
More than half our rainbow whānau have experienced mental illness. One in five of our rainbow rangatahi (youth) have attempted suicide. Things need to change.
So, this June I’m fighting discrimination with perspiration, and I've committed to exercising for at least 42 minutes every day to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
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 so much ❤️
