Molly is a long-distance cyclist, community organiser and writer driven by a belief in collective care, global solidarity and joyful resistance. From 2017 to 2020, Molly cycled over 20,500 km from the UK to New Zealand through 22 countries - a journey that raised funds and awareness for Choose Love and profoundly reshaped her understanding of herself and the world. Molly's commitment to humanitarian and environmental justice was solidified along the way. It was never just about a bike ride - it was about building connections, listening across borders and learning how resilience and kindness express themselves in different forms across the globe. Since then, Molly has led grassroots programmes focused on inclusive access to nature, mental health and the power of ordinary people to drive change - always with a lens on who gets left out and how we can create something better. Molly has managed international projects and supported people-centred movements that place wellbeing at the heart of systemic change. Molly's writing has been published in HuffPost, shado Mag and Intrepid Magazine. Molly is currently working on her first book about adventure, identity and the healing found in physically empowering ourselves. Molly is always open to collaborations that centre justice, creativity and transformative community work - please reach out with any opportunities.
