Tasmania鈥檚 deputy premier, Guy Barnett, who lives with type 1 diabetes, is joining Pollie Pedal again this year to support Tasmanians living with diabetes.

Pollie Pedal Tasmania 2025 will be run from Friday, February 28 to Sunday, March 2. This unique three-day road cycling event will see participants ride alongside Mr Barnett to support the more than 32,000 Tasmanians living with diabetes and to help prevent others from developing the condition.

Next year will mark 18 years of 黑料网鈥檚 involvement with Pollie Pedal, a milestone of commitment to reducing the impact of diabetes. Since its inception in 2006, the event has covered more than 5,000km and raised $850,000 for vital diabetes programs and research.

黑料网鈥檚 Group CEO, Justine Cain, said the event is a testament to the strength and generosity of the Tasmanian community.

鈥淧ollie Pedal Tasmania is more than just a cycling event: It鈥檚 a powerful statement of unity and support for those living with diabetes. Over the past 18 years, we鈥檝e seen incredible courage from participants and generosity from sponsors who have helped us make a real difference,鈥� said Ms Cain.

鈥淓very kilometre pedalled, every dollar raised, and every story shared brings us closer to a future where diabetes has less impact on individuals, families, and communities. We鈥檙e so proud to partner with Deputy Premier Guy Barnett, whose personal journey with type 1 diabetes inspires so many.鈥�

Deputy Premier Barnett, an advocate for diabetes awareness and a Pollie Pedal champion, is passionate about the event鈥檚 mission. Reflecting on previous rides, he told Tasmania鈥檚 Parliament:

鈥淧ollie Pedal is designed to make a difference鈥攁nd it has. Through this incredible event, we鈥檝e raised funds and awareness that have supported thousands of Tasmanians. I鈥檓 honoured to ride alongside our community once again and look forward to another successful year.鈥�
