I’m sweating for life-changing Rainbow support services

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! ❤️

Week 3 update.

Saturday 20 June 2026

Kia ora!

I’m absolutely blown away by the support so far. In just 20 days, I’ve smashed my second Sweat with Pride goal, reaching 1,800 minutes of movement, and I’ve also exceeded my fundraising goal of $500, with donations now sitting at $600! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, shared my page, cheered me on, and helped keep me motivated throughout the month. Every minute moved and every dollar raised is helping support an incredible cause, and I’m so grateful to have such amazing support behind me.

There are still plenty of days left in June, so I’m not slowing down yet! I’ll keep moving, claiming those sweat minutes, and doing my part to raise awareness and funds for Pride. My next stretch goal is to reach $1,000 raised by the end of the month — and with your support, I’d love to make that happen.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💜🌈

Kia Ora!  

I’ve managed to nail my months movement / sweat goal in my first week - so I’m going to continue to push and keep up the activity for this amazing cause to see how many hours I can clock. I’m now aiming for 60 minutes a day!  :) Thank you for the wonderful donations to date! Manda
