For various reasons this hasn't been the greatest month to try sweating with pride on top of everything else in life - but I'm so grateful to everyone who has given, to me or to other Sweaty Betties. Every bit counts and there's still a few weeks to get my butt into gear!
This is my 2nd
year sweating
I’m sweating to fight for equality, one sweaty session at a time!
I raised $1,375
last year
Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I'm doing this because it makes a material difference - fundraising for life-changing Rainbow support services.
I'm doing this to send a message - that I, as a cis, heterosexual Pākehā woman, will not sit silently while our LGBTQIA+ whānau are under constant attack, from media, politicians, and supervillain billionaires.
I'm doing this for a friend who never got to watch the final season of House or a woman play Doctor Who because he couldn't see a place for himself in this world, and that makes me so, so angry, and so determined to make sure no other young queer person ever feels that way again if I can do anything to stop it.
Sorry for the emotional swerves, but: for every dollar I raise, I'll do 5 squats in the month of June. 🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵
So chip in, fire up my quads, and let's save 🌈 lives together.

As a Doctor Who fan myself, I wanted to donate... "Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.”
