Why I’m Sweating with Pride

I’m taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our rainbow communities! 💦🌈

Our schools, workplaces, and doctors’ offices are still not safe places for many rainbow folk and it’s putting lives at risk.

Almost 3 million Australians identify as LGBTQIA+. However, despite significant progress, our communities are far from equal. Our communities have the highest rates of suicidality compared with any other populations in Australia, and less than 50% of rainbow youth feel safe at school. Things need to change.

So, this June I’m fighting discrimination with perspiration, and I've committed to exercising for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY to raise money to support Australia's LGBTQIA+ communities.

This cause means a lot to me. I’d be SO GRATEFUL if you could chip in to help me reach my goal. Every dollar I raise will fund life-changing support services for Australia's rainbow communities.

Thank you sooooo much ❤️

I've only done two 1km runs this week and a bit of weight training and stationary bike. I have been walking lots though. I really am pleased to be helping such an awesome cause

The gym has a treadmill with Wellington on it so I ran around there this morning!! I'm in the Top End of Australia and a little homesick. You can help keep me busy and fit by sponsorship of my sweating and also help the rainbow community. I love Australia and it's a joy to be able to be here doing something awesome for a group of Australians like the rainbow community which represents all ages and stages. It's hot in Northern Territory so thank goodness for the Air Con
