I’m taking part in Tour de 4 2026, the cycling event launched by Sir Chris Hoy following his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

I was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer about two years ago. I’ve been on an aggressive hormone and chemotherapy treatment plan which has caused me quite some challenges, more mentally than physically.

I watched Chris on TV at the end of last year and was inspired. I’ve raised c£3500 already this year by having a prostate cancer tattoo and now I’m looking forward to this cycling challenge. Even better, I’m doing it as part of a group of friends all raising money for prostate cancer. I know some of you have donated already, but if you can spare a little more as I’ve told you before, every £ can save a life. Please do leave your name as I’d like to be able to thank you.

It brings together people living with Stage 4 cancer, alongside friends, families and supporters, to ride side by side and raise vital funds.

The event is about showing that a diagnosis does not define a person, and highlighting what life with Stage 4 cancer can look like: strength, resilience and determination.

All funds raised will go to charities supporting people affected by Stage 4 cancer. If you’re able to donate or share, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every contribution helps provide vital support and care.
