Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I'm taking on Sweat with Pride again this June-my fourth year in a row! 💦🌈 At this point I’m basically a seasoned professional at getting sweaty for a good cause.

Every year I’m reminded why this kaupapa matters so much. Right now, schools, workplaces, and even doctors’ offices still aren’t safe for many in our community - and that lack of safety has real consequences. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis continue to face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and STIs like syphilis, mpox, and HIV. These aren’t just statistics; they’re people we love, people we work with, people who deserve better.

So this year I’m back and committing to 60 minutes of exercise every single day in June. Sixty. Whole. Minutes. Daily. If you hear distant wheezing, it’s probably me - but it’s for a damn good reason. I’d be incredibly grateful if you could support me. Truly - every dollar helps fund life-changing Rainbow services across Aotearoa, and every donation gives me one more reason not to lie down dramatically on the floor mid‑workout.

Ngā mihi nui for backing me, backing our community, and helping build a safer, healthier Aotearoa for everyone. ❤️

1 Week Down!!

Monday 8 June 2026

Kia ora koutou katoa! 🌈💦

Quick update - I’m 1 week into Sweat with Pride and the challenge is well and truly underway 😅🔥

I’ve been sticking to 60 minutes of movement every single day 🏃‍♂️ (yes… even when I really don’t feel like it 😴➡️💪)

What has this looked like?
Well… we've had multiple sessions with a Personal Trainer doing all kinds of workouts at the gym 🏋️‍♂️, walks to and from work 🚶‍♂️, and even an afternoon of tennis 🎾 (okay… Switch Sports, but it still counts 😄)

And thanks to some amazing support already… I’ve raised $210 of my $1200 goal 🙌❤️

Honestly, that means a lot - ngā mihi nui to everyone who’s chipped in so far 💖

What’s the plan for next week?
More movement, more variety, and hopefully some decent weather ☀️
I’m planning more walks around town and exploring more of Ōtautahi Christchurch 🚶‍♂️, a walk up the Port Hills 🏞️ (pray for my legs 😅), more gym sessions 🏋️‍♂️… and even a cheeky swim 🏊‍♂️

But there’s still a way to go…
I’m doing this because too many Rainbow Kiwis still face unsafe spaces and serious health challenges - and that’s something I care deeply about 🌈

So I’ll keep sweating 💦 (a lot 😅) - if you’re keen to help me keep the momentum going:

Thanks again for all the aroha - let’s keep it going 💪🌈

Love, Dan ❤️
