These weeks were a bit tougher after returning from Korea, getting back to work, and readjusting to life! I made sure to be up and active every day, and managed to get myself back into the pool! I'm hoping to finish strong with a few more swimming sessions and reaching my sweat goal. I've definitely felt more encouragement this year and hope I can actually make it to the end!
This is my 5th
year sweating
I’m sweating to challenge myself, boost my wellbeing, and support a great cause!

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! ❤️

I started my Sweat With Pride journey strong this year! I was in South Korea for a wedding so had ample time to sight see and get my sweat on (not considering the fact it was over 30 degrees most days and exceedingly humid).
Over the week I got to see a temple on our trip from the wedding venue back to Daegu, two of the palaces in Seoul, going up Seoul Tower, Seoul Forest, as well as a lot of shopping! There was also plenty of walking through airports between flights on our way back home.
Now that we've returned home, I am excited to get back into swimming, and hoping to complete my sweat time for this month, and possibly earning enough donations to meet my goal this year!
