Following the heartbreaking news that shook the global cycling community — our very own Sir Chris Hoy is bravely battling Stage 4 cancer — and having witnessed the pain and loss endured by close friends and family, as well as sitting by my father’s bedside recently during his own cancer treatment, I’ve decided it’s time to take action and give something back.

This September, I’ll be cycling from my home in the Central Scottish Borders to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, where ill then take on the TourDe4 challenge in honour of all those affected by cancer and raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

With my late grandfather, grandmother, and my father — my greatest supporters throughout every cycling endeavour — firmly in my heart, I’ll ride with them in mind. I’ll also carry the spirit of Sir Chris and every family who has felt the heavy toll of this disease.

If you’re able, I would be deeply grateful for your support through a donation. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help make a meaningful difference.

Thank you in advance for your generosity — it means more than words can express.
