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 again this June! 💦🌈
As a proud Mama of a rainbow teen I’m concerned about our young people.
Now, more than ever, 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 42 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! ❤️
