Sir Chris Hoy says life has been “very different” since he revealed his terminal diagnosis last year

Overview

  • Since launching his campaign with Prostate Cancer UK, more than 180,000 men have used an online risk checker, with over 1,000 diagnosed following PSA tests.
  • Hoy publicly disclosed his terminal stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis in October 2024 and says his condition is currently stable.
  • He credits disciplined exercise and a positive outlook for extending his remission and continues working in broadcasting, podcasting and public speaking.
  • Alongside his wife Sarra, who is managing multiple sclerosis, Hoy will host the 'Tour de 4' charity ride on September 7 in Glasgow with 5,000 cyclists.
  • Highlighting PSA tests’ imperfections, he is calling for earlier and more proactive prostate screening, especially for men with a family history.
