This is my first year sweating

I’m sweating to challenge myself, boost my wellbeing, and support a great cause!

Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈

The world is a scary place right now. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face higher rates of mental illness and suicide. In the last few years I've been welcomed into our workplace Rainbow whānau network and it has meant so much to me to be able to talk and be supported in my journey. Being reassured that my experiences are valid.

So, I'm challenging myself to speak up, step out and get my sweat on —exercising 21 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.

I really feel this cause can create change, 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! ❤️

We are just beginning June and I am overwhelmed by the support already received. I understand that it is a hard time for fundraising, with cost of living and other challenges. So I am so thankful for all donations. You are awesome humans!!

First day done!

Elliptical at home. Glad we are finally making good use of our home gym this year.

The countdown begins!

June is coming up fast. I’ve been using my Garmin Vivoactive to enter exercise sessions and it seems to work great! Climbing stairs at work doesn’t seem to get any easier but makes me feel good about sitting/standing in one spot at work the rest of the day.
