Am in Auckland so walking this little angel Bailey!!!
This is my third year sweating
I’m sweating for life-changing Rainbow support services
Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I'm 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.
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

Love this walking buddy of mine he’s a bloody gem and a big doofus, haven’t been well so walking him always makes me feel amazing
So on our great Ninety Mile beach walk we meet this amazing dog Lula she was so fast and Miler loved running as fast as he could with her they played for a good hour then we had to walk back. So good to see him having fun ❤️❤️
Nothing better than having this guy with me on my walks and taking him on different adventures, he truly is a gentle giant! Thanks Miler I hope we find you the best home xxx
I mean look at this face, how can you not enjoy walking with this guy! He’s a joy to spend my walks with!!
So had my first walk today with my friend Bernie who came up for a visit and a surf all the way from Christchurch, beautiful day in the Far North today.
