Waterstones Says

Moving and inspirational, Sir Chris Hoy's heartfelt memoir describes how the Olympic cycling legend has coped with his terminal cancer diagnosis and managed to focus on the moments in life that really matter.

In this new memoir, cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy reveals the truth of his cancer diagnosis and how he is determined to find hope and happiness on the home straight.

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.

MEDIA REVIEWS

'This book will be inspiring for anyone facing cancer and adversity. No longer Superman, now vulnerable, this lovely man has reframed a universally sad story into a life-enhancing one . . . All That Matters stands as a throat-catching love letter to his wife and children . . . This short, emotionally intelligent book dedicates itself to the art of how to make the best of what you've got, how to live in the moment and forget about tomorrow . . . A compelling book about his illness which manages, remarkably, to be anything but depressing. The early chapters are tear-jerkers, a vivid account of the shock of getting a terminal diagnosis when you're arguably still one of the fittest people on the planet - but the overall message is one of hope.' - The Times

It's an incredible read for anyone facing adversity in their life; how to cope with it, how to stay positive in really difficult situations. - Sally Nugent
