Sarra Hoy, wife of cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy, burst into tears during a touching moment on BBC Breakfast. The emotional moment came after she completed the Tour de 4, a charity cycle ride inspired by Chris after he received an incurable cancer diagnosis. Thousands joined to raise funds and awareness for those living with stage four cancer, a cause close to their hearts since Chris revealed his prognosis last year.
Still in her cycling gear, an emotional Sarra shared what the event meant to her. “It’s been a long-awaited day. To finally be here doing it, thinking of Chris… everyone is riding for someone special. It’s just brilliant, and I’m proud to be a small part of this big effort.”
Chris, battling prostate cancer, described the day as simply “uplifting,” praising the incredible support. “We’re raising money for vital causes, and it’s amazing to see such unity. Thanks to everyone who made this event a huge success.”
Despite his ongoing treatment, Chris remains optimistic, saying his condition feels “stable.” Sarra, who also faces her own health challenges with multiple sclerosis, has kept her diagnosis private from their kids, Callum and Chloe.
The event raised over £2 million, underscoring the couple’s determination to focus on daily life and keep their family routine as normal as possible. Chris shared, “It feels like life is as it was, which is remarkable. We’re just getting on with things, and that feels like a really good place to be.” 🌟❤️🚴♂️
