This is my 1st
year sweating
I’m sweating to take a stand against discrimination and create real change
Why I’m Sweating with Pride
What the heck? I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 🌈
Right now, the world is a genuinely scary place for Rainbow (LGBTQIA+) Kiwis, who face higher rates of mental health challenges and suicide. Not because of who they are, but because of HOW IT IS TO SIMPLY EXIST in a society that perpetuates unkind narratives about sexuality and identity, and scientifically errant narratives about gender.
So, I'm fighting discrimination with perspiration—exercising 21 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services. Sure, I love to walk. I promise I'm not being cheeky and fundraising by doing what I'd do regardless! 21 mins of being a Sweaty Betty EVERY FREAKIN DAY is NOT my M.O. 😂
Every dollar makes a difference.
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️
