The world knows him as Sir Chris Hoy, the Olympic cycling champion with six gold medals to his name. But behind every great man is a strong woman, and for 14 years, Sir Chris has been married to his wife Sarra. They have been through the ups and downs of life together, but nothing could have prepared them for the devastating news that was about to come their way.
Just weeks after Sir Chris was given a terminal cancer diagnosis, Sarra received news that she too had a serious health issue. Doctors informed her that she had an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease without a cure. It was a shock to both of them, especially since they had been dealing with Sir Chris's cancer diagnosis.
Sarra had been experiencing a tingling sensation in her face and tongue and decided to get it checked out. Little did she know that she would receive such a life-changing diagnosis. Sir Chris recounts the moment in his autobiography, All That Matters, where Sarra sat him down one evening and broke the news to him. It was a heartbreaking moment for both of them, and Sir Chris couldn't help but break down at the thought of his wife battling such a difficult disease without him by her side.
Sarra had kept the news to herself for over a month, not wanting to burden her husband with more bad news. She had been the one accompanying him to all his hospital appointments, trying to be strong for him. But now, it was her turn to lean on him for support. Despite the difficult news, Sarra remained positive and reassured Sir Chris that she was okay at that moment and that they would face this together.
The couple has been through a lot in their 14 years of marriage, and they had many more adventures planned. Sarra recently shared on Instagram that they were overwhelmed by the support and kind messages they received from people. She also mentioned that Chris's story has inspired many men to seek advice about prostate cancer, potentially saving countless lives. The couple is looking forward to the future and all the adventures they have planned, grateful to have each other by their side. They are a reminder that love can withstand even the toughest of challenges.
