TURIA PITT & MICHAEL HOSKIN — A LOVE THAT SURVIVED THE FIRE

“A love that survived the fire, stronger than ever.”

In 2011, ultramarathon runner Turia Pitt’s life was tragically changed when she was caught in a devastating bushfire. The fire left her with burns over 65% of her body, and the road to recovery was nothing short of grueling. Over the next two years, she underwent more than 200 surgeries, enduring endless physical pain and emotional struggle.

But through the darkness, one person remained by her side — Michael Hoskin, her fiancé. In a moment that forever touched the hearts of millions, Michael made the choice to stand beside her, not just as a partner, but as her unwavering support. He quit his job and became her full-time caregiver, tending to her wounds, offering comfort through her darkest moments, and holding her close as she battled against the physical and emotional toll of her injuries.

“I married her soul. She’s still the woman who makes my dreams come true.”

When asked why he stayed, Michael’s words struck a chord with the world. His love for Turia transcended physical appearance and circumstance; he loved the essence of who she was. Their bond was unbreakable, and his dedication to her during the toughest time of her life proved that love can endure, even in the face of unimaginable trials.
