Before the age of 30, he faced and survived both testicular cancer and bowel cancer, enduring countless surgeries and challenges that would have broken many. Yet through it all, Hugo has become a voice of hope, resilience, and proactive health.He founded 25 Stay Alive, a charity dedicated to encouraging young people to prioritise their health and get regular checks — proving that cancer and serious illness don’t just happen “later in life.” Alongside his incredible wife and their young son, Hugo continues to live with courage and purpose, inspiring thousands to take responsibility for their wellbeing.In this conversation we explore:Hugo’s military career and the resilience it taught himHis battles with testicular and bowel cancer, and the lessons learned from survivalThe mission behind 25 Stay Alive and why early health checks are lifesavingHow he balances fatherhood, marriage, and recovery with positivityWhat hope and strength really look like when life throws its toughest challengesHugo’s journey is a true testament to the power of the human spirit.
