Days 7&8 were for getting loose! Back bends and splits ๐คธโโ๏ธ
This is my first year sweating
Iโm sweating to fight for equality, one sweaty session at a time!
Why Iโm Sweating with Pride
I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! ๐ฆ๐
Right now, schools, workplaces, and even doctorsโ offices arenโt safe for many in our communityโand itโs 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 perspirationโexercising 21 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.
This cause means the world to me, and Iโd 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! โค๏ธ

Day 4&5 was lots of pole! Day 6 Iโve been out on a walk in the rain. Promise I was sweating inside of my puffer and beanie ๐ฆ
Day 1 - stretching / splits Day 2 - an outdoor walk exploring a new area, while away in Auckland Day 3 - pole! I have several shows to prep for and will be doing a lot of choreo/practice this month! Thank you to everyone who has shown support so far! ๐ฅฐ Thereโs 5.7k people doing this fundraiser and almost 300k has been raised. What crazy support! Appreciate all of your kind words and donations, to myself or others ๐
We all know I don't like to do things in halves... or maybe it's my OCD? $1000 has been raised in the first 10 days of launching this page, which is so amazing!
This is definitely a team effort, I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to check out my donation page and to those who have sponsored me so far.
In June I'll be exercising everyday in order to complete this challenge - if you have any suggestions of things you'd like me to try or see me do in exchange for your donation - let me know! I'm up for a challenge and want to continue giving back.
Seeing as there is still 80 days to go before the fundraiser ends, why not keep up the fundraising efforts and aim for $2500? ๐ That's only a $20 sponsorship per day! Sounds achievable to me. If you can contribute $20, or share my page with someone who can I would be so grateful! If you can donate even more, even more grateful!! Lets work together and give back ๐๐ช๐ปย
Biggest thank you to everyone who has donated so far! $1000 goal reached and still 80 days to go until the fundraiser ends! Yeehaw ๐ค
