✨ You can help fund life-changing medical research that has the potential to unleash the next chapter in medical advances. This can’t happen without you:

Right here in WA, researchers are using artificial intelligence to explore how they could better detect and treat brain tumours, potentially reducing the need for invasive surgeries and giving families like Paul’s hope for the future.

Now, as Paul and Sophie prepare to welcome their second child, every backyard giggle and bedtime story with Isla becomes even more treasured. They live for these simple family moments, knowing part of Paul's tumour remains after three difficult surgeries.

When Paul was diagnosed with a brain tumour at 34, everything changed. But amid the uncertainty, he found unexpected joy in becoming a father.

Thanks to your continued generosity, early-stage research projects like this are now possible. THANK YOU 💙 To learn more about our latest Bright Ideas Grants we’ve funded, please visit our website:

Imagine transforming cystic fibrosis care by understanding how new therapies impact the liver – that’s exactly what Dr. Paul Armstrong and his team are investigating in this Bright Ideas Grant Project.

As he explains, “This new technology can quickly process vast amounts of data – spotting abnormalities and guiding clinicians’ expert attention to where it’s needed.” Donate today to advance this promising research happening right here in WA:

As Director of Physics Research in Radiation Oncology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Professor Ebert is a leading mind in the field of medical AI and is a mentor to a team of young researchers.

Like medical breakthroughs that came before - vaccines, antibiotics, and medical imaging - artificial intelligence promises to transform how we care for patients.

Thank you for supporting these vital early-stage ideas that are helping shape the future of WA healthcare 💙 To learn more about our latest round of Bright Ideas grant projects, please visit our website:

Paul has had such wonderful support, and for that we will be forever grateful to Charlie's. We want to help see research go forward. And I think it's marvellous. I really do.”

I think that research and knowledge are the utmost in all this. And it's incredible, the leaps and bounds that we've developed and gone ahead with in the last few years.

The minute the clinician said, “brain tumour”, I had to steel myself and not fall off the chair. I thought I was going to collapse. Those are the two words that you don't ever want to hear. And when it's your child, it's just terribly, terribly frightening.
