Why we’re Sweating with Pride
As a Safe Gains whānau we’re 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 STIs like syphilis, mpox and HIV are still far too common. Things need to change.
So, this June we’re fighting discrimination with perspiration, and have committed to moving our bodies EVERY DAY to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
As an org that provides physical activity opportunities to our LGBTQIA+ whānau, this cause means a lot to us. We’d be super grateful if you could chip in to help us reach our goal. Every dollar we raise will fund life-changing mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders.
