Why we’re Sweating with Pride
We are a group of friends from Ōtepoti who work at Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka.
We’re taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for Rainbow communities!
Our schools, workplaces, and doctors’ offices are still not safe places for many Rainbow New Zealanders and it’s putting lives at risk.
This June we’re fighting discrimination with perspiration, and have committed to exercising for at least 21 minutes every day to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
This cause means a lot to us. We’d be so grateful if you could chip in to help us reach our goal. Every dollar we raise will fund life-changing mental, physical, and sexual health services for Rainbow New Zealanders.
Thank you so much.
