Wowza indeed! I did not expect to reach these amazing heights but I am absolutely thrilled. This money will go to such deserving causes, and I’m very grateful to have been a small vessel to assist everyone who has supported to get some essential services to those who need it. Grazie!
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! ❤️
