Pippa Mann is an accomplished professional race car driver, entrepreneur, and advocate for women in motorsports. A veteran of the Indianapolis 500, she is also the CEO of the Shift Up Now Foundation, an organization dedicated to creating opportunity, visibility, and meaningful change for female athletes in motorsport.

For 2026, Mann joins Drive Toward a Cure® as an Ambassador for the organization’s Young Onset Parkinson’s Initiative, lending her voice and platform to help raise awareness for those diagnosed earlier in life. While she does not live with Parkinson’s disease herself, Mann brings a deeply personal understanding of what motion, mobility, and physical independence mean—values that sit at the heart of both her racing career and her advocacy work.

Aligned in age with many living with Young Onset Parkinson’s, and having built a career based on strength, precision, and movement, Mann is passionate about standing alongside individuals and families navigating Young Onset Parkinson’s, a disease that can disrupt mobility during what should be some of life’s most active years. Through her ambassadorship, she aims to amplify awareness, foster empathy, and support Drive Toward a Cure’s mission to advance research, care, and community for those affected.

Drive Toward a Cure raises money for Parkinson's Disease research and patient care.
