Six-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy is on a mission to redefine the perception of people living with stage four cancer.
On Friday morning in Glasgow, the cyclist said “there’s plenty of life left in us”.
Sir Chris revealed in 2024 that his prostate cancer had spread to his bones.
Doctors subsequently gave him between two and four years to live.
Speaking to the Press Association, he said he was “doing fine”.
At the moment, he said that his cancer is not stopping him from doing anything that he loves. “I’m doing fine, thanks,” Sir Chris said.
“The Tour de 4 is the main focus for me the next few months.” The event is a charity bike ride for people affected by cancer, which is taking place in Glasgow in September.
It raised more than £3.1 million in its inaugural year in 2025, and it will support five major UK cancer charities as well as challenge perceptions of people living with stage four cancer.
“It’s trying to demonstrate, rather than just talking about it, that all these people who are in a similar situation to me – living with stage four cancer – that there’s plenty of life left in us, and we’re determined to make the most of it, and not have cancer define who you are,” Sir Chris said.
