Chris Hoy quits UK with family over 'worst fear' as he and wife battle incurable diseases


Britain's most successful Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy, has been given a terminal cancer diagnosis and his wife, Sarra, was told she had an aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis

Six-time Olympic gold medalist Sir Chris Hoy has heartbreakingly shared that he is facing terminal cancer, while his wife Sarra is battling an aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis. To shield his little ones from this harsh reality, Sir Chris and his family have decided on a two-week half-term getaway, hoping that upon their return, the commotion around his health will have subsided. To keep his illness hidden as long as possible and for his son's sake, Chris braved the pain of a cold cap, which he described as "is like your head being in a vice", for six rounds of chemotherapy over 18 weeks.
