Sarah, the event organizer and founder of Pedal for Parkinson's (PFP), is an everyday cyclist and a dedicated weekend warrior. With a professional background in the bicycle industry, Sarah's passion for cycling is deeply intertwined with her commitment to honoring those affected by Parkinson's Disease (PD).
The inception of PFP is a profoundly personal journey for Sarah. While residing in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic, she experienced the heart-wrenching loss of her beloved grandmother to Parkinson's Disease. Travel restrictions prevented her from returning home to bid farewell, a sorrow that has fueled her determination to make a difference. This emotional turmoil ignited her resolve to create PFP upon her return to Australia.
PFP is based in Tasmania, Sarah's childhood home and where her family still resides, although she currently lives in Victoria. Despite the geographic challenges, Sarah has meticulously organized the tour remotely, driven by her deep personal connection to the cause. Through PFP, Sarah not only pays homage to her grandmother but also raises awareness and funds for Parkinson's Disease, transforming her grief into a powerful force for good.
