This is my fifth year sweating

I’m sweating to fight for equality, one sweaty session at a time!

Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈

Right now, schools, workplaces, and even doctors’ offices aren’t safe for many in our community—and it’s putting lives at risk. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and STIs like syphilis, mpox, and HIV.

So, I'm fighting discrimination with perspiration—exercising 21 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.

This cause means the world to me, and I’d be SO grateful if you could chip in to help me reach my goal. Every dollar makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

Today is Day 4! I hate to say it but… can’t say I did much today! A small 10 minute walk and about two minutes practising my cpr skills for a first aid course! Good news is, it’s double dollar day tomorrow so please donate from 8am NZ time and get my donations up. Appreciate all the support for this amazing cause. 💚
