Riding for Life – My Tour de 4 with Sir Chris Hoy
Just over a year ago, my world changed. I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer — a moment that stops you in your tracks and makes you re-evaluate everything. In August, I underwent a Prostatectomy and Pelvic Lymphadenectomy. It was a tough journey, both physically and emotionally, but thanks to incredible surgeons, the NHS, and the support of loved ones, I’m now proud to say: I am cancer free.
Now, On the 7th September, starting from Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Glasgow, I’m doing Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 60k — not just as a personal challenge, but as a way of giving back. Every mile I ride is for the men who aren’t as lucky as me, for those still fighting, and for the families who’ve lost someone far too soon.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men — yet it’s often overlooked, talked about too little, and diagnosed too late. That needs to change. By raising awareness and supporting life-saving research, we can give more men a fighting chance.
That’s why I’ve set up this fundraiser — to help Prostate Cancer UK fund critical work into early detection, better treatments, and support for those affected. This ride is my way of turning something that once felt like a nightmare into a mission for hope.
I’m asking for your support — not just for me, but for every father, son, brother, partner, and friend who might one day face what I did. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference.
Please support me in this journey — let’s ride towards a future where no one has to face prostate cancer alone.
