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. 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 21 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 sooooo much ❤️

WOAG?!

Tuesday 11th Jun
GUYS? NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS IN? You have all been INCREDIBLY GENEROUS! I'm incredibly proud to have friends, family, and colleagues who have given so generously to a cause so close to my heart. It's only June 11, but I promised to sweat the WHOLE MONTH LONG so I plan to keep updating this blog all month. If you're here looking at my page, and thinking about donating: please consider donating to someone else to help them reach their goal instead, and that way, we all lift each other up -- ultimately the money all goes to the same cause, and you all know I'm big on solidarity. Thank you all again!!

Thank you!!

Big ups to everyone who has contributed to sponsoring my sweat in the last five days! To make things a little more challenging for myself, I have upped my sweat goal to 42 minutes so I REALLY gotta get out of bed on those cold winter mornings and get moving. Thanks so much to everyone who has supported this cause with me -- Lets keep it moving!

Day 1!

Saturday 1st Jun

Clocked up 66 minutes by way of a walk around my hood -- start as you mean to go on, baby!

One day to go...

Friday 31st May
Tomorrow we get started! I might ironically clear my exercise goal in the wee hours this morning -- I'm heading out tonight and might do a bit of dancing before I crawl into my cozy bed in the wee hours. Of course, that may not stop me from getting up and going for a walk anyway...😅 Thanks so much for the donations so far: lets get to 500 eh?
