Responding to news released that Sir Chris Hoy has launched a new Tour de 4 cycling challenge, taking place on Sunday 7 September 2025 at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Glasgow, and that Breast Cancer Now is one of the five beneficiary charities for this event. Claire Rowney CEO at Breast Cancer Now said:
“We’re both honoured and thrilled to be a beneficiary charity for Sir Chris Hoy’s inaugural Tour de 4 charity ride that will take place in Glasgow on 7 September.
“Chris is a true inspiration, channelling his own stage 4 cancer diagnosis as a force for good. With an estimated 61,000 people in the UK living with incurable secondary (stage 4) breast cancer, he’s raising such vital awareness of what living with this disease can mean, and that it’s possible to live well despite this devastating diagnosis, as well as raising crucial funds for UK cancer charities.
“Tour de 4 is open to anyone to take part and is a special opportunity for people living with stage 4 cancer and those close to them to unite to raise funds – funds that, for Breast Cancer Now, will help us ensure we’re there for anyone affected by breast cancer through our life-changing support and world-class research.
“Whether an avid cyclist or novice, I strongly encourage everyone to sign up now for what promises to be a one-of-a-kind cycling challenge experience!”
