Olympic Champion Chris Hoy Reveals Terminal Cancer Diagnosis
Hoy, who has children Callum, 10, and Chloe, 7, with his wife Sarra Hoy, underwent six rounds of chemotherapy starting in November. By the end of it, he was “absolutely broken.”
To make matters worse for the family, shortly after Hoy’s diagnosis with incurable cancer, his wife Sarra discovered that she had “very active and aggressive” multiple sclerosis.
“It’s the closest I’ve come to thinking, why me? What is happening here? It just didn’t seem real,” reflected Hoy. “It was such a huge blow, already feeling devastated. You think things couldn’t possibly get worse. You feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, and then you realize, no, there’s still further to fall. It was brutal.”
