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.
As a queer transgender person, this is a cause close to my heart. I have been incredibly lucky to have such great support over my life and my transition, and I want to help make sure every other queer person gets that support along their journey.
Thank you so much 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
