Did gentle stretching and loud cheering at the Bridge of Rememberance on the weekend.
This is my 1st
year sweating
I’m sweating to celebrate and uplift my Rainbow whānau
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! ❤️

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.
