Sarah Harry passed away in March 2021 after a battle with leukodystrophy. She was a champion in the eating disorder, body positivity, yoga and HAES space. Sarah’s voice publicly heralded the body positivity movement in Australia, and her activism and media commentary will leave a lasting legacy in the broader community. 

 

Sarah was a proud mum to sons, Charlie and Max, and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
