Our Mission

Cure For Life Foundation™ (CFLF) is devoted to saving lives of people suffering from brain tumours, through advances in research and education in neurosurgery.

The Cure For Life Foundation™ was established by the world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr Charles Teo to help fund advancements in the treatment of brain cancer, hopefully one day leading to a cure. Charles continues to develop new and innovative surgical techniques. Currently he works at the Prince of Wales Private Hospital in Sydney and is the director of The Centre for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery.

An origami crane was chosen as the symbol for the Foundation because in Japanese legend it represents; longevity and good fortune. With your help, the Foundation can help make these things possible for people suffering from brain tumours. Click here for instructions to make your own origami crane.

Dr Charles Teo in OR gearDr Teo has dedicated his life to treating patients with brain tumours. He has been an invited speaker to almost every continent and over 24 countries. He specialises in minimally invasive neurosurgery, and has featured on television programmes such as 60 Mniutes, the ABC's Australian Story, Today Tonight and A Current Affair .

The Cure For Life Foundation™ is committed to providing ongoing support for vital research into the treatment of both malignant and slow growing brain tumours. This includes searching for better surgical, chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic options.
