Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow communities! πŸ’¦πŸŒˆ

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 ❀️

So you good eggs have got me to No.2 on the fundraising ladder . As already stated my Pilates studio (The Pilates Loft) provides free sessions for the local Rainbow Youth group, so I know first hand how much the funding is needed I’ve been told that only 14 ppl have ever raised over $2500 for this cause ! I’ve decided to aim for $2500! So I’ll keep raising funds and crack that $2500.

Onwards and upwards!

Tuesday 28th May
I managed to reach my original target in less than a day, so have increase it to $1000.

My Pilates studio (The Pilates Loft) already offers a free weekly session for the local Rainbow Youth group. From this I know first hand how much various services are needed in the community. This is another way I can with the delivery of those services.
