'Not dead yet': The 66-year-old cancer survivor who rode the entire route of the Tour de France
Ten years after a bleak cancer diagnosis, Bob Munro stuns CW's David Bradford by taking on his biggest cycling challenge yet
Bob Munro, a 66-year-old cancer survivor, is still cycling and preparing to ride the entire route of the Tour de France this year. Munro first appeared in Cycling Weekly in 2016 when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer. Despite grim statistics, he has defied the odds and is now fitter than ever. In 2021, Munro was invited to join a clinical trial of a new immunotherapy treatment that led to complete remission after 11 years of continuous treatment.
As he prepares to ride the Tour de France, Munro reflects on his journey, including his struggles with injuries and the challenges he faced during the Cure Leukaemia Tour 21 challenge, where he was the weakest link and ended up setting the time limit each day. He remains optimistic about his health and the future.
