Overview

• Hoy, diagnosed in September 2023 with prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, was initially given a two-to-four year prognosis.
• He recently told BBC Breakfast his condition is stable after a course of radiotherapy a few weeks ago, and he remains on continuous medication.
• Metastases caused a fractured vertebra that was repaired with cement injections, which he says have restored his ability to lift and train.
• His Tour de 4 cycling campaign has raised more than £2 million for cancer charities, exceeding its original £1 million target.
• Coverage notes increased public engagement with prostate health since his disclosure, as his family also manages his wife Sarra’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
