About
For every book sold, a donation will be paid to Maggie's, a charity that helps families living with cancer. Discover the life of Sir Chris Hoy, the cycling champion who became an inspiration to millions.
Little Chris grew up in Scotland with a passion for bikes and adventure. He loved riding his BMX, dreaming of becoming a racing champion. But school wasn’t always easy—Chris had dyslexia, which made reading and writing a challenge. However, he never let it hold him back.
With determination and hard work, Chris became one of the greatest track cyclists of all time. He won six Olympic gold medals and became a sporting hero for Great Britain. After retiring from competitive cycling, he continued to inspire others, writing books for children and encouraging young athletes to follow their dreams.
In 2024, Chris shared his personal battle with cancer, showing the same courage and resilience that made him a champion. His story is one of perseverance, strength, and never giving up—on or off the track.
This inspiring book features lively illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Chris’s incredible achievements. His story shows that with passion and perseverance, anything is possible.
