Our family has reached a point we never thought we'd face.
After 17 years and five battles with brain cancer, Aaron's doctors have told us we're running out of time. There is one more treatment that gives us hope—CAR-T therapy—but because he doesn't qualify for the funded clinical trial, we have to pay for it ourselves.
If you have a moment, we'd be so grateful if you could read our story on our GoFundMe page. Whether you choose to donate or simply share it with others, every bit of support helps give us a chance to fight for more time together.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Brain Cancer
Imagine waking up with a headache that won’t go away. Then come dizziness, blurred vision, and trouble finding words. For many, these are the first signs of brain cancer, which affects over 300,000 people worldwide each year.
Some tumors grow silently, while aggressive types like glioblastoma have a 5-year survival rate of just 7%. Causes vary, from genetics to radiation exposure. Treatment—surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy—is tough, but early detection offers hope.
For those diagnosed, every day is a battle—a fight for time, for hope, and for life.
Some Great Resources
Australia has several incredible organizations dedicated to brain cancer research, support, and advocacy. The Cancer Council provides essential education, funding for research, and patient support services. Cure Brain Cancer Foundation is a leader in driving innovation and clinical trials, working toward a cure. The Dr. Teo Foundation, founded by renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Charlie Teo, funds cutting-edge research and treatment advancements. Behind the scenes, these organizations work tirelessly—raising awareness, supporting families, and pushing for breakthroughs. Their resources, from helplines to funding initiatives, offer hope to those affected by brain cancer.
