## Resource

Six-time Olympic gold medalist Sir Chris Hoy is battling stage four prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, with doctors giving him 2-4 years to live—but he’s riding against the clock, cycling coast-to-coast across Spain and defying medical advice to stay active, even as he faces chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and a recent leg fracture. With his wife also living with a chronic illness, Hoy remains fiercely determined to maintain his strength, believing his fitness has dropped only 20 percent—and he’s turning pain into purpose, one pedal stroke at a time.
