Dan Walker 'wasn't prepared' as Edinburgh's Sir Chris Hoy shares emotional update

Dan Walker has said he "wasn't prepared" after Sir Chris Hoy shared an emotional update following his cancer charity ride. The award-winning presenter commented that he "wasn't prepared for this" as he replied to a post of Sir Chris Hoy speaking to the BBC with tears in his eyes following another successful Tour de 4 ride in Glasgow. The six-time Olympic cycling champion shared in October 2024 that he has stage 4 prostate cancer. Founded by the Scottish legend following his diagnosis, Tour de 4 aims to unite people affected by cancer to change perceptions, offer hope and raise vital funds for cancer charities across the UK, reports the Daily Record. In the interview after his race on Sunday, September 6, Sir Chris said: "The support we had - it's hard to explain. You are right in the middle of nowhere, in quite remote areas. "People have come out, children, families..." Sir Chris paused, becoming emotional, and wiped away tears. As bagpipes played in the background, the six-time Olympic champion apologised to the BBC for getting emotional. He continued: "The thing that's touched me the most is that they're all saying thank you. I'm saying thank you to them. But they are saying thank you to us for doing what we're doing. That means a great deal." Footage shows the father of two hugging his wife, Lady Sarra Hoy, as she crossed the finish line. She said: "It was amazing. I am so pleased I've done it again. "It was very wet, and it was very difficult for me. I think I tried to go too fast with them [points to Sir Chris] at the front. "But then I just had such a lovely time and the guys I did it with - I was following the wheel of Dame Laura Kenny - not many times in your life you might be doing that" as she beamed with joy. In the comments, Sarra wrote: "Thank you so much for your support @bbcbreakfast." Others shared their own cancer story, with many people thanking the husband and wife duo for putting on the event. So far, £2,701,687 has been raised for cancer charities. The official Tour de 4 team confirmed that the "event day total exceeds our total on event day last year" with fundraising still happening. What are the signs of prostate cancer? The NHS warns that prostate cancer often has no symptoms at first. It usually starts to grow on the outer part of the prostate. This means it does not press on the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis (urethra) and cause symptoms, until the cancer has grown or spread. If this happens, it can cause changes to the way you pee, such as: finding it difficult to start peeing or straining to pee having a weak flow of urine "stop start" peeing needing to pee urgently or often, or both feeling like you still need to pee when you've just finished peeing during the night Other symptoms can include: erectile dysfunction (being unable to get or keep an erection) blood in your urine or blood in your semen lower back pain and losing weight without trying to (these may be symptoms of advanced prostate cancer) You should see a GP if: You're having trouble peeing or have other symptoms of prostate cancer You're over 40 years old and genetic tests have shown that you have a faulty version of a gene called BRCA2 (this raises your risk of prostate cancer) You're worried about your risk of prostate cancer You can ask your GP about having a blood test (PSA test) that shows if there are any problems with your prostate, even if you do not have symptoms. They'll consider your cancer risk to help them decide if the test is the right choice for you.
