Today's sweaty activity was dorky dancing to an angry song and a campy song, followed by putting the reformer into trampoline mode! 🥵
This is my 1st
year sweating
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! ❤️

Getting to my fundraising goal for orgs doing cool mahi in rainbow communities was just the motivation I needed to kick off Sweat with Pride!
It's been a lovely social long weekend of queer joy. I went to a drag show at Ivy here in Poneke with some new pals from work's Aniwaniwa ropū, and caught up with another pal and binged a few eps of Ru Paul's Drag Race, which i haven't watched in ages!
My heart was feeling full but my brain and bod were pretty tired after socializing and staying out past my bedtime, while housesitting in a different part of the city, in luteal (iykyk).
But, we rally for queer rangatahi!!
Started off strong with 30 mins of my fave kind of exercise, reformer pilates 🥰🥰
I was in the garage getting sweaty for 38 mins (the exact amount of time my washing machine was doing it's thing!) But I hit pause on the stopwatch when I took breaks and faffed about with equipment.
I bloody love pilates, and i will be doing it a lot this month!!
I will be posting pics and vids from my Sweat with Pride activities on Instagram @wegiveafluff and my private account @cc.beccilouise 🥰
