Against all odds, multiple operations & a high-risk surgery performed by Charlie Teo, and the support of a community that rallied behind him helped change the course of his life.We chat about his remarkable journey, the rugby league community that stood by him, his passion for the NRL & the Bulldogs, and how he now uses sports photography and videography to inspire others and raise awareness through his work in the game he loves.This is a story of resilience, gratitude and never giving up.
