Philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter announced the charity partnership with Sir Chris earlier this month, saying: “If you decide to walk for the Kiltwalk, the funds you raise will go towards helping our national treasure Sir Chris Hoy to raise money for his cancer charities.
“The great news is, if you select Kiltwalk as your chosen charity, all of your fundraising plus gift aid will go to the five cancer charities I’m supporting through the Tour de 4 following my stage four prostate cancer diagnosis 18 months ago.
He has teamed up with Kiltwalk to boost his Tour de 4, a new fundraising charity bike ride which supports UK cancer charities and aims to change the perception of people battling stage four cancer.
The five charities are Breast Cancer Now, Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Maggie’s and Prostate Cancer UK.
Sir Chris Hoy has urged people to take part in mass walking events in kilts to raise money for cancer charities.
