This is my null 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! ❤️

Pick a date!

Monday 12 May 2025

Thanks to you gorgeous people I've raised $717 so far! 
This also means I'm #7 fundraiser for Sweat with Pride 2025 and I *think* the only goat poet on the leaderboard 🐐

On my run this morning I was thinking up some cute little things to do for you generous sponsors along the way:

✨️ If I can get to $1000, on the 30th of June I'll attempt a 20km run to finish up the month. My overall personal goal for the month is 200km+.

🌼 If any sponsors want to pick a date in June, I'll post a shout out from that day's run (or occasional swim cos these goat bones are old), and tell you which song on my random 800+ song running playlist ended the run that day, as your theme song. I run to everything, so it could be opera, it could be video game music, it could be electroswing, it could be 80s trash pop. It probably will be embarrassing but I promise not to cheat.

🫂 If you want me to 'carry a name' with me on your chosen date, for someone here struggling, or no longer with us, as a kind of act of placing their name in the peace I find on these coasts, and in running, I'd love to do that. And if you need this yourself, I'll be carrying all your names, be sure of that 🩵

💨 For donors over $100, I'll write you a haiku about something significant on your date's run, and send you a handwritten version on a postcard, if you messenger me an address.

Let's go!

Some of you know that I run a wee bit. 

In June, I'll be doing it for Pride, to raise money for the Burnett Foundation, who fund groups providing ever-more-important support for rainbow peeps of all stripes across Aotearoa - InsideOut, Rainbow Youth, and OUTLine. And every time I hear about the work they do, I think about a bunch of friends who might still be here if that kind of support had existed when we were young - so every step I take in June is for them, too.

So far, Sweat With Pride 2025 has raised $86,000, and it's still May. I'll be running (or swimming) for at least 42 minutes a day all month - if you'd like to sponsor me (or sign up too!) I'd love that.
