Why Iโm Sweating with Pride
I am excited once again to be part of Sweat With Pride for 2024!ย
Iโm taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow communities! ๐ฆ๐
Our schools, workplaces, and doctorsโ offices are still not safe places for many Rainbow New Zealanders and itโs putting lives at risk.
More than half our rainbow whฤnau 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 Iโm 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. Iโd 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.
