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 is currently working on her first book about adventure, identity and the healing found in physically empowering ourselves.
