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! ❤️

Bowing out

Wednesday 24 June 2026

Unfortunately for the first couple of weeks of SwP this year I was sick and still have a lingering cough, on top of a recovering from a ruptured tendon in my ankle. So while I've tried hard to get in some exercise every day, I've made the tough decision to bow out of SwP this year. If you want to donate, please donate to one of my very worthy and hard working team mates 💪
