I couldn't face going outside, so I set up my laptop with some old favourite Just Dance videos!
This is my sixth 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! ❤️

It's a glorious clear, cold night, perfect for late walks!
Kia ora all! Thank you to everyone who has donated, it is hugely appreciated, every time!
The cold snap of the winter has made emerging from my cozy blanket cocoon a challenge, but this is my sixth year of Sweat with Pride, and I will not be defeated by the weather!
I've been doing basketball drills while supervising badminton at school, and doing some gnarly walks-all the way from Karori to Mt Vic yesterday!
Matariki weekend is just around the corner, and you better believe I will be out there!
Thanks again to all supporters, donors or not, you are legends all.
