Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow communities! 💦🌈
They have a mountain to climb so I have a mountain to climb!
More than HALF our rainbow whānau have experienced mental illness. ONE in FIVE of our rainbow rangatahi (youth) have attempted suicide. That's not ok. 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 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. That's 💰double💰 the amount I raised last time because mental health statistics are only getting worse.
Every dollar I raise will fund life-changing mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders. Thank you, thank you, thank you for any donation you can make. ❤️

I'll join you in the sweating Rachel. I'll be doing a combo of pilates and walking/jogging. Might even be running between flights for some of this - it happens more than I would like :)
