Why I’m Sweating with Pride

Good news, my friends! I am giving you an easy way out of exercising this June!  

You can sit on the couch and still feel really good about yourself! AND I promise you that WILL LOSE WEIGHT! How? 

Please support me in taking on Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈

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 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.

And what about losing weight? Well, you will lose all that weight off your shoulders! (Ok, and your wallet will feel a little lighter, too... if you do wish to minimise weight loss in that area, I will say that paper weighs less than coins.)

Let's focus on the good stuff we can all easily do to make this day brighter! 

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

Exercising Democracy

Thursday 18 June 2026
Blog image

Did gentle stretching and loud cheering at the Bridge of Rememberance on the weekend.

Also did at least 21 minutes of eyerolling at attempts from a certain quarter to "define" women and men. 
I put this exercise down as "stretching and mobility work". Is it exercise? You bet it is. 

Cross Country Challenge!!!

Today I went off the beaten track for some cross country exercise on challenging terrain!

Does this count as hiking? Sure it does!

Today I took on a dangerous vertical challenge as part of

Sweat with Pride! 

Please consider sponsoring me - You’ll be helping to save lives by raising funds for essential mental, physical and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders.  

Also, here is a photo of my challenging climb today. Is it wrong to log that as 2 minutes of rock climbing? I think not.

Thank you beautiful people!

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated so far! 
Some of you are anonymous... please don't be afraid to make yourself known, so I can show some extra teeth the next time I smile at you! 
Ok, that might be frightening... either way: thank you from the bottom of my sweaty walking feet! You are appreciated!
