As soon as Jacinda Ardern's book hit the stores - so did we! Power walking through Kmart in search of "A Different Kind of Power" 💪🏼🌈
This is my second 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 this June! 💦🌈
Right now, 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 21 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! ❤️

It's been a privilege to witness your dedication to Sweat with Pride these past two years. Demonstrating how it's more than just a fitness challenge - but an opportunity for meaningful connection. The ways you've sincerely engaged with people, in an outpour of love and kindness - exchanging life stories, effortlessly giving hope, connecting people to relevant & educational resources, and humbly sharing perspective that heals & unifies..! I'm truly in awe of your heart. I see you, guiding people to the Sweat With Pride initiatives, directing donations to the overall website as a movement, rather than to your own fundraising profile even; is a testament of your selfless contribution to the greater cause. I still wish to donate in your name given how you have taught me so much about the importance of advocacy for our Rainbow Communities, and the importance & value every contribution brings. 🙏🏾 Love you lots, and God bless you! ❤️
