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! 💦🌈

Right now, schools, workplaces, and many public areas aren’t safe for many in the LGBTQI community—and it’s putting lives at risk. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face higher rates of mental illness and suicide

So, I'm fighting discrimination with perspiration—exercising 21 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.

This cause means the world to me, and I’d be SO grateful if you could chip in to help me reach my goal. Every dollar makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

Week 2

Tuesday 10 June 2025

So 7 days in and I've managed to get sweaty almost every day.. not always,easy when it cold dark and wet.  But been exploring youtube zumba classes in my lounge in the evening.  ( not sure JP impressed!).

There is still time to sponsor Meg and I to raise funds for LGBTQI mental health support. Thanks to all of you who already have.

Day 1

Sunday 1 June 2025

So got my 21 minutes digging a trench beside the road to stop flooding,  followed by cutting up and shifting old man's  beard. Good ole fashioned manual labour for day 1!!

Still time to sponsor Meg and me and support LGBTQI mental health support services
