This is my 1st
year sweating

I’m sweating to challenge myself, boost my wellbeing, and support a great cause!

Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈

For me this isn't just about the physical challenge, it's about equality and safety for our rainbow community. Too often, members of the rainbow whanau face barriers when seeking support. Whether it's navigating medical care or finding mental health support, everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and safe enough to reach out. 

I'm sweating because:
- Representation matters
- Accessibility is life changing
- Action drives change

I want to live in an Aoteroa where our rainbow community feels empowered to prioritise their health without hesitation or shame. 

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️
