Why we’re Sweating with Pride
We’re taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for Rainbow communities! 💦🌈
We're a team of kaimahi at InsideOUT Kōaro working to ensure that rainbow & takatāpui rangatahi experience safety, belonging, and the freedom to thrive in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
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.
