Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈
As a gay person myself, I have experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate this space when you’re young but also as an adult and the weight of potentially being discriminated against in any given space be it work or school or even friend and family groups is extremely heavy to bare. I’ve taken part in this fundraiser for 3 years now and plan to do so for as long as I am able and as long as my brothers and sisters are fighting for fair treatment and safer spaces.
Right now, schools, workplaces, and even doctors’ offices aren’t safe for many in our community—and it’s putting lives at risk. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and STIs like syphilis, mpox, and HIV.
So, I'm fighting discrimination with perspiration—exercising 60 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! ❤️
