It was such an honour to record this episode. We overuse words such as ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration’ but Sir Chris Hoy is both of those. He is one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic cyclists now living with a Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. In September 2023, a seemingly routine trip to the doctor’s turned into a waking nightmare when he was given between two and four years to live. His beloved wife Sarra was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a month later. And yet these two extraordinary people say they are lucky.
Listen to this episode if you want to feel joy, hear wisdom and learn how to live with love, even in the face of adversity. Sir Chris’s positive mindset, his resilience, kindness and courage is a lesson to us all. Plus he’s really funny too. Sir Chris, I’m so honoured you came on How To Fail - you’re an amazing human being. Thank you for spending this precious time with us and for trusting me with your story.
To everyone who has listened to How To Fail this year and beyond: a very Happy Christmas. I couldn’t think of a better episode with which to mark the festive season.
If you or someone you love is going through a mental or physical health challenge, as Sir Chris Hoy says: you are not alone. You can call the Samaritans 24/7 on 116 123.
All That Matters by Sir Chris Hoy is out now.
