Is it just me or is a 3km walk getting easier?! No way would I even have considered I’d be doing walks that include km in the distance… let alone every day!!! Go me! I mean go us lol 🐾 🏳️🌈
Smudge and I are walking 60km+ for Rainbow Kiwis – can you help us?
Discrimination and unkindness in any form sucks.
Mommy needs the exercise, Smudge needs regular walks, and this is a great cause.
Thoughts especially with my Pasifika LGBTQIA+ aiga.
Please get amongst to help support.
Right now, many rainbow Kiwis still face discrimination and unsafe environments in schools, workplaces, and even healthcare—and it’s putting lives at risk.
LGBTQIA+ Kiwis experience higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and barriers to accessing the support they deserve.
So this October, Smudge and I are putting our paws to the pavement—walking at least 2km/day together for Pride Unleashed—to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.
Every dollar makes a difference and helps create a safer, kinder Aotearoa for our Rainbow whānau.
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️🐾🌈

9 days in a row - I would never have thunk it. Amazing what push a cause you believe in can do - especially when it keeps ya accountable
One week in - whoop whoop. Felt like was taking forever on day 4 and now it’s day 7!!
And we strutted our stuff around the neighbourhood and nearby park… just out here sweatin’ with pride 😁
Decided to go for a drive and find a new spot. Was NOT expecting a 4+km hike but was a beautiful walk out in nature
Been posting daily updates on my insta but I’m just stoked I went walking even in the rain. So stoked when I can selfishly benefit from a great cause. The cause keeps me going 🫶
Forgot to take a vid/pic but suffice to say this may be the favourite route. I get to let smudge loose in the park with no one around and she loves it. She lost me for a bit tonight though… wonder if it’s selective blindness so she can keep up with the zoomies… Think I might get the hang of this …
Went a diff route around the neighbourhood then we normally would. Along the roadside so lots of hustle and bustle, but hopefully that means Smudge gets used to it if we’re consistent. Is this cheating considering it’s not yet October? 😜😁
Starting to track our walks which is normally only every other day. So consistency will be key! We can only really walk about 2km at a time due to her knee arthritis - suits me though! :p
