Charly Sweats with Pride

17/07/2022

Wow... I finished up raising over $2000!

🌈 💕 🌈

I started the journey thinking I wouldn't bother fundraising, but my competitive nature kicked in...

I'm now finishing my fundraising having raised over $2000 and reached 19th place out of over 4000 who signed up for Sweat with Pride.

Thank you so much to everybody who helped me achieve this. At a time when the LGBTQ+ community continues to experience bullying and backlash, it's wonderful to be part of something that raises funds and shows the q***r people of NZ that we love them just the way they are! ♥ 🌈

My last aerial video for you guys. ♥🌈

I know we've finished June's challenge, but this is the sling routine I was working on last week.

It was pretty challenging, but today I spent ages trying again and again until I managed to get through the whole routine without getting stuck, wrapped up in sling and unable to remember the next move. (My instructor had a good laugh at me a few times! 😂)

Thanks everyone for the support this month. My wish for you this winter is that you too find a sport or physical activity that brings you happiness. ♥

Thanks so much for the boost to my fundraising Phoenix Lab !

Can't believe that as we end the month I'm #63 on the fundraising leader board! 😍

And for my big finale...🌈

I spent all class struggling with this move. Finally my instructor said I had one minute until stretching time. Pressure works wonders... I got there! 😍

Success is so much sweeter when you had to bust your arse for it! 😂 💪 😅♥️

Oh my, I've just read this and it's so sweet it made me cry (in a good way!). 🌈 ♥

A recent survey revealed that LGBTQ+ youngsters who are surrounded by a loving and supportive family and community report significantly lower rates of attempting su***de.

Last day of and I finally got to a slings class!

Here's a wee video for you of the new routine we're working on.

I stopped where I did because I forgot the next bit, so EVEN THOUGH next week is no longer Sweat with Pride, I still hope to practice it again and get you guys a better video of me getting tangled in fabric!

(We only recorded the end final result, but I can assure you the class was 90% trying to untangle myself from each new move! 😂 😂)

🎈 🎉 Wowsers, I got there! 😍 $1000! 🌟

Thanks to everyone who helped support my fundraising for this super important cause! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🌈

A reminder to everyone about my $50 raffle. Ticket is $2 (or $5 for 3). 💵

I've had very few sales, so right now the odds are in your favour! 😂

I'll draw the raffle when I reach 100 sales or when I reach my new fundraising target of $1000, whichever is first (but I can tell you for sure the $1000 will be first!).

Purchase your tickets by making a donation on my fundraising page:

OK, it's official, I've raised my goal to $1000. How did I know this was going to happen?! 🌈

18/06/2022

Look what I got! Because you guys helped me raise $500, I got a sweatshirt! 💖🌈 I love it so much!

Whaddaya think, do I aim for $1000 now?

(Also please forgive the tired face. I've come down with a cold. 🤧 Not covid round #2, thankfully!)
