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 15 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.

I'm also choosing to raise money and awareness as I am a proud mother of Casper, my son who is part of our rainbow community. It would mean the world to both of us if I could raise money for this cause and show the world we can all live as unique human beings and there is nothing to be ashamed of or hide only ourselves to be proud of and boast about. 

Thank you very much. 🌈 🧡💜💙💚🩷❤️🩶💛
