The McGrath Foundation is calling on ALL its supporters to participate in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival on September 20 to help the McGrath Foundation raise its target of $100,000!
This amount will help fund a McGrath Breast Care Nurse for a one year period. Our dedicated McGrath Breast Care Nurses provide much-needed support to Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer and their families - plus by running in PINK you are helping to increase breast awareness in the community! If you can't make it to Sydney to walk across the Harbour Bridge on September 20, no worries, you can still help the McGrath Foundation by supporting Glenn raise his personal target of $50, 000. For more information on the McGrath Foundation, and to find out how you can get involved, visit www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au. We are looking forward to meeting all our PINK runners at the McGrath Foundation recovery tent once you've crossed the finish line. Happy running - and always remember that together, we CAN make a difference!
Jane McGrath co-founded the McGrath Foundation with her cricketing husband, Glenn, after her initial recovery from breast cancer. Jane experienced first hand the shortage of breast care nurses in Australia during her treatment and became determined to help others in her situation. The McGrath Foundation is committed to continuing Jane’s legacy by promoting “breast awareness” among young women, and enabling the placement of specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses across the country, particularly in rural and regional areas, to support women diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast Care Nurses are specially trained nurses who act as patient advocates, care coordinators and provide support for women with breast cancer, their families and carers. People can nominate to raise money for the McGrath Foundation or can visit our website to donate directly or to purchase pink merchandise - www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au.
