This is my 1st
year sweating

I’m sweating to challenge myself, boost my wellbeing, and support a great cause!

Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈

Rainbow services always need our support, but particularly at the moment.

I also need some motivation to get moving - so this is the perfect combo for me. 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! ❤️

Getting myself ready

Sunday 24 May 2026

Two days ago I signed up for Sweat with Pride. I've admired other people taking part and now I've decided it's my turn.


My motivations are two-fold:
1) Support the cause - especially in the current political context.
2) Look after my body and mind - making this commitment to those sponsoring and supporting me holds me accountable. 

So even though we aren't in June yet, I'm warming up. Yesterday a 7km walk with my brother and today 22 minutes of yoga to start the day. My body is grateful for this movement.

Cheer me on if you can - words, sponsorship, a message here and there. It all helps me do what I've committed to doing!
