About me

  • Professional
  • Keynote Speaker

Yes, you can face multiple life-threatening diseases and still share your story with grace and humour in order to help others. 


CAPT Hugo Toovey is a 30 year-old Army Captain, Founder of 25 STAY ALIVE, and a survivor.


If you didn’t know Hugo, you would assume that he was your typical everyday young Australian. And yes, from the outside, he appears to be exactly that. However, the last 9 years of his life has been everything BUT normal. He is missing a testicle, part of his reproductive system, all of his abdominal lymph nodes, his appendix, his large bowel and his rectum. Not only has Hugo survived both testicular cancer and bowel cancer, but he has recently been diagnosed with Chrons Disease and again finds himself on active treatment.


Yet throughout all the surgeries, chemotherapy, hospital visits and ongoing battles with his mental health, Hugo is more determined than ever to save lives.


Hugo is also an Ambassador for Movember & Gotcha4Life and he hosts the mental health podcast “Behind the Uniform”.
