Why we’re Sweating with Pride
I (Kelsi) took part in Sweat with Pride a few years ago and was overwhelmed by the support I received.
I'm getting back on the exercising wagon full force this year, and Annie, my Mum, has also started on her own fitness journey, so what better time for us to do this together :)
Please help us reach our goal and raise money for a great cause, very close to my heart. I've left in the generic blurb that Sweat with Pride provides below because it hits all the right points.
Thank you for your support!!!
P.S. Mum and I really need to take more photos together - this one is 10 years old!
---------------------------------------------------
We’re taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for 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 exercising for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
This cause means a lot to us. We’d be SO 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.
Thank you sooooo much ❤️
