As a boy growing up in Scotland, Chris loved nothing more than racing around on his BMX and dreaming of becoming a champion. He wasn't the fastest cyclist at first, but did that stop him? No! He quickly learned the value of hard work and perseverance, equipping him with the tools he needed to push forward. With determination, courage, and relentless effort, he went on to become one of the greatest cyclists of all time, winning six Olympic gold medals and eleven world titles! After retiring, he became an author, writing books to inspire children and young athletes to chase their dreams. In 2024, he showed remarkable courage once again, by openly sharing his cancer diagnosis and offering hope through his strength. This book takes young readers on an inspiring adventure through Chris's incredible journey - showing that with passion, perseverance and a dream to follow, anything is possible!
