This is my first 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! 💦🌈

LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face many challenges in society, and with current economic pressures, funding has become a significant barrier to supporting those who may need resources or assistance to navigate life.

So, I'm challenging myself to exercise for 60+ minutes every day throughout June to raise funds and support life-changing Rainbow services.

I’d be incredibly grateful if you could contribute to help me reach my goal, but more importantly, to support my community. Every dollar makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

Day Five - Lets Aim for the Stars!

Thursday 5 June 2025

Day Five, and I’ve finally had a chance to update my page! I'm truly grateful for all the support I received even before June began, and for already reaching my initial goal of $500. Thank you!

I’ve now set myself a stretch target to see if I can hit $1,000 before the end of June, with the support of my amazing whānau, friends, and community.
