On a beautiful winters day in Featherston I started my first Sweat with Pride early, before the sun was up. Walking with my two dogs and partner for 45 mins was the perfect start! The garden was next where I mowed and weeded with vigour for three hours! Finished the day with an hours walk with Chase, my more active dog. Feeling great! Now just need to raise those funds! Thanks to everyone who has supported to date, you are awesome! Go team homosweatuals!
This is my first year sweating
I’m sweating to take a stand against discrimination and create real change
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! ❤️
