It was a shock to the world when Sir Chris Hoy, one of Great Britain's most accomplished Olympians, revealed his recent diagnosis of terminal cancer. His wife Sarra shared a heartfelt post on social media, calling him her "real-life superhero" and expressing their family's overwhelming gratitude for the outpouring of support they have received.
At 48 years old, Hoy was given a prognosis of two to four years to live after being diagnosed with primary cancer in his prostate. He had initially shared his diagnosis earlier this year, but only recently confirmed that it had spread to his bones and reached stage four. Tumors were found in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine, and rib.
In her first post since the devastating news, Sarra expressed her appreciation for the kind and thoughtful messages they have received. She also mentioned the increase in men seeking advice about prostate cancer, thanks to Chris's story, which could potentially save countless lives. Sarra, who was diagnosed with MS just weeks after her husband's terminal diagnosis, added that despite the difficult circumstances, they remain excited about the future and have many adventures planned.
Sir Chris's strength of character, dignity, and humility were on full display during his recent appearance on BBC, where he served as a pundit for their cycling coverage. Sarra described watching him as a "masterclass" and declared that he truly is her real-life superhero. With six gold medals won between 2004 and 2012, Sir Chris is undeniably one of Great Britain's greatest ever Olympians.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Sir Chris shared his perspective on his diagnosis, saying, "You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process." He also acknowledged the importance of appreciating life and finding joy, which is bigger than any accomplishment or event, such as the Olympics.
The news of Sir Chris's diagnosis has sparked messages of support from various individuals, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Team GB legend Dame Kelly Holmes. In a separate social media post, Sir Chris expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming love and support they have received. He also revealed that he has written a book titled "All That Matters," which will be released next month, discussing how he has coped with the diagnosis and found hope and resolve to keep pushing on. He hopes it can offer inspiration and support to anyone facing challenges in their life.
Despite the difficult and unnatural circumstances, Sir Chris remains positive and grateful for the medicine that will help prolong his life. He cherishes every moment and has genuine happiness, knowing that his story could potentially save others. The world continues to send their love and support to Sir Chris Hoy and his family during this challenging time.
