A massive thank you to everyone who donated this year. Smudge and I smashed our sweat goal and we are so happy you all backed us by donating to this fantastic cause. I’d love to encourage you all to join in the fun next year. Thanks again, everyone!
This is my second 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! ❤️

This past week got a bit chaotic, but here’s a wee bit of what I have been up to: Les Mills classes and walkies with Smudge (including a nice - and very muddy - bush walk on the weekend) have kept me on track. Not feeling my best in the past few days, but finding gentle ways to move for 21min still. Let’s see how far beyond our goal we can make this year!
Today I clocked in a Les Mills Core class, a quick run and, of course, walkies with Smudge. Now sitting at 17mins away from hitting my Sweat Tracker goal for the month and we are not even half-way through - wow! Might need to up the goal!
Miserable weather to be outside, so I decided to give the house a much needed deep clean - may have gotten a bit carried away and clocked my personal daily record in the sweat tracker this year!
Broke a new personal record today :)
Thank you so much to everyone who donated today! :)
Back indoors today for a Body Pump session. No Smudge pictures today, sorry!
Smudge took me out for a walk by the beach today - very kind of him to keep my sweat tracker in check.
