Over the last few days I’ve got in another 70 pull ups, bringing the total to a nice round 200. I’m about on track but things will get difficult/fun if I get more donations at the last minute
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 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! ❤️

Breaking out the pull up bar in the office still feels bizarre, but it’s a great way to get through it all. Another 20 down, 205 to go!
I’ve managed to get through another 40 pull ups today! I’m hoping that the approach of doing a lot in one go then taking a few days off will continue to work out for me
Between Wednesday and Friday I’ve knocked out another 50 pull ups! Up to a total of 70 so far.
I’ve started strong on my pull ups challenge, with 20 on day one. Here’s hoping I don’t burn out! Ill keep posting updates as I do more, and will try to work out a video of at least some of them
In a move that I may come to regret, I am committing to doing 1 pull-up in the month of June for every $2 donated to my page. If you want to make my arms fall off, donate! By the end of June I will either be really strong or really weak, don’t know which.
