Why I’m Sweating with Pride

Kia ora e te whanau! ❤️

I’m fighting discrimination with perspiration by taking part in Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our Rainbow communities! 💦🌈

I've committed to exercising for at least 42 minutes EVERY DAY in June to raise money to support Rainbow 🌈 Kiwis.

Our schools, workplaces, and doctors’ offices are still not safe places for many Rainbow 🌈 New Zealanders and it’s putting lives at risk.

More than half our rainbow 🌈 whānau have experienced mental illness.

One in five of our rainbow  🌈rangatahi (youth) have attempted suicide.

And life changing STIs like syphilis, mpox and HIV are STILL far too common. 

Things need to change.

This cause means a lot to me. I’d be SO GRATEFUL if you could chip in to help me reach my goal. Every dollar I raise will fund life-changing mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders. 🌈❤️

Ngā mihi nui ❤️
