Why we’re Sweating with Pride
We’re paw-sitively diving into Sweat with Pride this June to fetch some serious support for our Rainbow pack — The Máximo Paws Pack! 🐾🌈💦
Too many Rainbow New Zealanders still don’t feel safe in schools, workplaces, or even at the vet—uh, we mean doctors’ offices—and that’s putting our pack members at risk.
More than half of our rainbow whānau have wrestled with mental health struggles. One in five of our rainbow rangatahi have tried to bow-wow through the hardest times. And nasty stuff like syphilis, mpox, and HIV are still sniffing around too much. It’s time for a big paws-up and change.
So this June, The Máximo Paws Pack is wagging tails and working up a sweat for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY—paw-sitively committed to raising funds to help Rainbow Kiwis thrive.
This cause is close to our hearts (and paws). We’d be howling with gratitude if you could throw a bone and help us reach our goal. Every dollar raised will support life-changing mental, physical, and sexual health services for our Rainbow pack.
Thanks a ton—sending you all the puppy love! ❤️🐶
