Why I’m Sweating with Pride

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

I am personally invested and live as an ally every day. I'm very aware that 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. THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

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! ❤️
