This is my first year sweating
I’m sweating for life-changing Rainbow support services
Why I’m Sweating with Pride
Most people who know me personally know that I've been a part of this community since I was a teen. I'm going to be Sweating with Pride this June to try and give back to the community that helped me (and countless other kids) realise that I wasn't alone and I wasn't broken.
A lot has changed since then, but even in 2025, 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, hate crimes, and physical health challenges.
So, I'm fighting discrimination with perspiration—exercising 42 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services that make a difference in peoples' lives.
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! ❤️
