This is my third year sweating

I’m sweating to celebrate and uplift my Rainbow whānau

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! ❤️

It begins!

Sunday 1 June 2025

I think I just about averaged 30th mins a day in May. The sweat tracker has now been reset and the challenge starts for real! 

I have been moved by how many people I know are participating. It's great to see the ❤️. I'm also really touched by how many people have donated to my page already! I nearly got my original $500 goal before the challenge even started, so I've taken the line and upped it to $1000. I'll be so thrilled if I  make it! 

Take 3...

Wednesday 30 April 2025

This is my third time participating in Sweat with Pride. It seems like a good time to be throwing support at services like OutLine, as they are more necessary and more financially squeezed than ever before.

I'm challenging myself this time to be active every day in May as well as June. I've also set my goal for 30mins a day (average) rather than the requisite 21. Overly ambitious? Only time will tell!
