'This Too Shall Pass': Hugo Toovey's Decade Long Battle With Testicular & Bowel Cancer //VIDEO.
Listen now
Description
Hugo Toovey is an incredibly inspiring human being. At the young age of 21, Hugo was diagnosed with testicular cancer & told that it had spread through his body. He could hardly believe the news as a fit young man in the defence force at that time. He would go on to face a bowel cancer diagnosis a little later on, multiple surgeries & treatments to eventually survive a decade long battle. Never-the-less it has left him with complications that make life challenging on a daily basis. Hugo spoke vulnerably about the challenges of these last 10 years. Not only the physical but the mental battles of watching your life slip away from you, seeing your loved ones suffer by your side & sometimes questioning his own will to go on. Despite all of his hardship he found a way out of it & to inspire others. He is the proud founder of '25 Stay Alive' a preventative health movement which educates and inspires younger people to be proactive with their health, an ambassador for mental health foundation 'Gotcha 4 Life' & a brilliant keynote speaker. He also shared some incredibly exciting news on the episode that he & his wife Amber will be welcoming their first child in April 2024, a surprise gift after suspecting that they may have not been able to fall pregnant naturally.
