Create an experience with Hugo Toovey

Most people hear the word “survivor” and assume the battle is over. For Hugo Toovey, survival is an ongoing reality, one he faces every single day. Still in his early thirties, Hugo has survived both testicular and bowel cancer, undergone more than a dozen major surgeries, and lives with a body that will never be the same.

But Hugo’s story isn’t just about illness. It is about resilience, perspective, and the power of starting uncomfortable conversations. His scars, both physical and mental, have become his greatest tools in breaking down barriers and reminding people that health is not something to take for granted.

As an Army Major and founder of 25 STAY ALIVE, Hugo is a natural storyteller who blends raw honesty, vulnerability, and humour to connect with any audience. Whether he is speaking to senior executives, construction crews, government leaders, or students, Hugo unites people from every walk of life with a simple but urgent message: health is everyone’s responsibility.

Hugo doesn’t just deliver keynotes. He sparks lasting change. His presentations shift perspectives, ignite conversations, and equip people with the courage to act. Audiences leave not only inspired, but with practical tools and a powerful reminder:

Life is precious, don’t take it for granted.
