With two workouts to go, I’ve achieved the goal I set out to do. Those 2 or 3 minutes over everyday added up!
Of course, with two workouts to go, I’m going to keep going. Last chance to donate and make a difference.
This is my first 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 30 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! ❤️
