Sir Chris Hoy knows better than most how life can change in the blink of an eye.
In elite sport, the margin between victory and defeat is miniscule, and the pressure is immense. Chris has built a glittering sporting career on understanding these moments: how to feel for them, how to cope with them, how to make them count.
Last year, he faced another life-changing moment. He found out that the ache in his shoulder was in fact a tumour, and that he had Stage 4 cancer.
He will be living with this disease for the rest of his life.
In this memoir, Chris shares the next phase of his extraordinary life with exceptional bravery. He looks over the challenges he has faced thus far, and the ways he has taken them on. With his wife Sarra and their young children by his side, he shares how he has used these experiences to find ways to focus on the moments that matter, showing us how to do the same.

Excellent read, emotional and inspiring, what an example of a Man - Heroic
Positive & hope inspiring
This is the positive & hope inspiring story that I really needed on getting my own prostate cancer diagnosis. Just searching the Internet reveals a vast sea of dark & miserable information. I really appreciate the effort that has gone into making Sir Chris Hoy’s story a positive & hope inspiring one. Thank you for creating this Audiobook. // Martin
