The McGrath Foundation was co-founded by Jane McGrath and her cricketing husband Glenn after Jane's initial recovery from breast cancer. It was Jane's personal experience that led her to believe that the McGrath Foundation should raise money to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia, as well as to increase breast awareness in young Australian women.: EntryProcedures Contact Natalie Hawkins, BCN Programme Support Officer for further information. As of September 2012, the McGrath Foundation has helped support over 16,000 Australian families experiencing breast cancer, with 77 McGrath Breast Care Nurses working in communities right across Australia.
