That 6km yesterday must of tired him out 😂 Didn’t stop him smashing out another 2km this morning though!
My doggo and I are walking 100km for Rainbow Kiwis – can you help us?
Too many Rainbow Kiwis still face discrimination and unsafe environments at school, work, and even in healthcare. The result? Higher rates of poor mental health, suicide, and unmet care. That’s not okay.
So this October, my doggo and I are putting our paws to the pavement. We're walking 100km for Pride Unleashed to raise funds for life-changing Rainbow services.
💜 What your koha can do:
-
$30 Connects someone with a peer support group, so they don’t have to face challenges alone.
-
$50 Powers PEERS Health, a Rainbow-friendly healthcare directory that makes finding affirming care stress-free.
-
$100 Provides a session of expert counselling, tailored to support resilience and wellbeing.
-
$150 Funds a full counselling assessment plus follow-up, ensuring ongoing care.
This cause means the world to me, and I’d be so grateful if you could chip in to help us reach our goal. Every dollar makes a difference and helps create a safer, kinder Aotearoa for our Rainbow whānau.
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️🐾🌈

After all that rain, the sun has finally come out! Pember and I smashed out 3 km this morning and another 3 km just now, because apparently the pug takes his national holiday very seriously. We’re officially halfway through October and halfway to our 100 km goal. Thanks to everyone’s incredible support, we’ve already raised nearly $1,400! 🥳💖 💪🌈 Feeling grateful and very proud of my little walking potato
We planned a chill 2km walk. But no. His Royal Pugness needed to find perfect patch of grass, conveniently located an extra kilometre away! So here we are: 3km later, mildly sweaty, spiritually broken, but still fabulous. 🌈🐾
We smashed out our morning walk 💪🌈 Now it’s “poopies time”... except the pug has opinions about where that should happen 💩➡️ (hint: it’s never nearby).
