## Key points

- Braydee Audrain needs high-risk surgery for a brain tumour.
- Charlie Teo has offered to operate for free in Perth.
- Her family is raising A$150,000 for treatment in China.

## Summary

Braydee Audrain, a 19-year-old from Western Australia, has a brain tumour and suffers seizures, severe migraines and visual disturbances. Her family says they have been unable to find an Australian surgeon willing to operate, while neurosurgeon Charlie Teo has offered to perform the surgery in Perth without charging a fee if an independent neurosurgeon supports him.

Teo says the suspected low-grade glioma is deep in the left temporal lobe and could be fatal if untreated, though surgery itself carries significant risks. He is currently unable to operate in Australia without written backing and access to a theatre, so the family is raising A$150,000 to take Braydee to China if local treatment cannot be arranged.
