Got sweaty changing my tyre!
This is my first 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 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! ❤️

Panmure lagoon around 8am, so pretty and brisk.
Ran my km faster than last week.
Pretty happy with my 1km time. Also did some machines and weights.
Went to put in my sweaty hockey practice and the activity tracker doesn't have hockey! Should I say I play soccer or ice hockey..?
If I walk around the shops every lunchtime it might get dangerous for my wallet...
Walked with Quinn and Bojii at The Gardens for an hour, but it was so cold and soggy I didn't get sweaty, so recorded it as 21mins...
Starting with a bang! Quinn and I took 2hrs and 11mins to do the Cossey-Massey loop track in the Hunua Ranges.
