Well folx, with one final gym session I have completed my second year of Sweat With Pride! Thank you so, so, SO much to everyone who sponsored me, supported me, encouraged me, and to all the Sweaty Bettys who put in the mahi to improve the lives of rainbow Kiwis. LOVE WINS 🏳🌈
This is my 2nd
year sweating
I’m sweating to celebrate and uplift my Rainbow whānau

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 30 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! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍

I have doubled my initial goal of 30 minutes a day to 60 minutes, and am still somehow averaging a bit above that! This June has been less freezing than last year so have been able to get out and about a bit more. Would have liked a greater variety of activities but there's still time! Thanks as always for all your support 😎🌈
15 days in, still going (too) strong - already passed my goal of 900 minutes. Going to alter that higher. For the rest of June I'd like to maintain this pace, and maybe find some exciting new activities to enjoy. Thanks again for your support! 🥳
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me! Your support for rainbow Kiwis is very important and beautiful 😊
For my part, I wildly underestimated how much exercise I'd be doing this month - barrelling through at about 4x speed so far! Bring on week 2 🌈
