Funding the best brains to beat brain cancer

Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease and more people under 40 than any other cancer.  The worst type of brain cancer, GBM, is also the most common and has an average survival of only 15 months from diagnosis.

As a neurosurgeon I have operated on patients from all around the world who have been given no hope. At the Charlie Teo Foundation, we fund game-changing brain cancer research, offering hope of a better future for patients and families.

We need to start thinking differently to find a solution.

"Let’s do this together. We are going to get there. A world without brain cancer."
