Molly's fundraiser for RNLI - British Coastline World Record Attempt
Molly Weaver is raising money for RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution
Story
With Courage, Nothing is Impossible.
In June 2025, I will attempt to set a new world record for the fastest circumnavigation of the British coastline by bicycle.
This means cycling over 7730 kilometres (4800 miles) in under 22 days. I will need to ride for around 18 hours a day, pushing through the inevitable mental and physical barriers that I will encounter, and tackling the unpredictable weather and challenging terrain that will come with circumnavigating the UK’s coastline.
Despite multiple attempts by various athletes over the years, the world record has stood at 22 days since 1984. A woman has never previously attempted the feat.
More than just a record attempt, this is a journey to show that anything is possible, to inspire others to take on adventures of their own, and to raise money for the charity that keeps us all safe around our coastline: the RNLI.
Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.
RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.
Thank you.
