This is my first year sweating
I’m sweating to fight for equality, one sweaty session at a time!
Why I’m Sweating with Pride
This June, I’m taking on Sweat with Pride, exercising 21 minutes every day to raise funds for life-changing Rainbow support services.
As a 36-year-old Brazilian-Kiwi, I live my life proudly and believe in a world where everyone can do the same. But right now, too many in our Rainbow community don’t feel safe in schools, workplaces, or even doctors’ offices. That’s not okay.
LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and STIs like syphilis, mpox, and HIV. These are not just statistics, they’re lives, and they matter.
So I’m fighting discrimination with perspiration. This cause is deeply personal to me, and I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Every dollar raised helps create a safer, more inclusive Aotearoa for all of us.
If you can, please chip in. Together, we can make a real difference. 🌈❤️
