Sweat with Pride - the fitness fundraiser that supports the rainbow community

Thursday 7th April 2022 | Scott Faville | R1 News Reporter | scott@r1.co.nz

Over 50% of the LGBTQ+ community is affected by mental illness. Gay and bi men make up 80% of new HIV transmissions in New Zealand. To raise money for essential support services for the rainbow community, the New Zealand AIDS Foundation is fighting discrimination with perspiration. Sweat with Pride gets people active and raises money.

 

Scott Faville spoke to Beth Goulstone (of the New Zealand AIDS Foundation) about Sweat with Pride.
