Mollie's motivation - she explains why she's doing Pedal Power
Mollie says she didn't hesitate when asked to do the challenge: "Just over a year ago, I suddenly lost my dad. It came about very unexpectedly. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour and passed away three months later. It’s still really hard to talk about - I hate talking about him in the past tense. But when I was asked to do this, I thought I have to do it."
"I want to help people who are struggling, and that is exactly what Comic Relief does. They are amazing. They help people who are homeless, struggling with poverty and struggling with bereavement - amongst so many other things."
