Why I’m Sweating with Pride

Kia Ora! I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June 💦🌈

I'm a second-year Health Sciences student, through my time studying I've learned about the inequities and lack of accessibility that exists with the LGBTQIA+ community. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis also face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and STIs like syphilis, mpox, and HIV.

I'm making it my objective to train each day to show my support, alongside reaching $100 in donations for this important cause :)

There are important pupils in my life, such as my friends, family, and those within my community that I would love to see have the same accessibility to services, and experience positive awareness for them being amazing being who they are.

It would mean the world if you were to make any contribution that you feel comfortable with making, but it is still a win if you read this and become more aware about this cause and you yourself could even decide to participate!

Thank you so much for your support, lets make Aotearoa a fair and equal place for everyone! ❤️
