Andrew Forrest meets and plays peek-a-boo with Thomas, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour at four months of age. The Australian government will combine with non-government organisations to give more than $100 million in the fight to increase brain cancer survival rates. The government will put up $50 million, which will be coordinated with a $20 million pledge from the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation and $10 million from Andrew Forrest's Minderoo Foundation. The disease has seen little progress in the past few decades -- currently, only two patients of every 10 survive beyond five years once being diagnosed with brain cancer. 1600 Australians are diagnosed with brain cancer every year.
