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.

At Kinetic IT, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for everyone. Our LGBTQIA+ Working Group has an Action Plan that addresses policy, education and community concerns to ensure that we are building safe environments where everyone can thrive. Our Rainbow@KIT KNOT is pleased to invite all crew to participate in Sweating With Pride, alongside other Kinetic IT events for Pride Month. Join us!

Almost 3 million Australians identify as LGBTQIA+. However, despite significant progress, they 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 one hour EVERY DAY to raise money to support Australia's LGBTQIA+ communities.

Thank you ❤️
