    McGrath Foundation Ambassador & Director. Incredibly proud to be by my best friend Jane McGrath's side when she started the McGrath Foundation. I will continue her work with the most incredible team until we meet again

    I don’t have the words to express how I’m feeling today, so I will start with saying THANK YOU Australia for making the 17th Pink Test the pinkest ever!!! 🥳 I was a little nervous about how Australia would feel about the McGrath Foundation taking the same free expert care we have provided to families experiencing breast cancer the past twenty years, now to all cancers. Well Australia with almost NINE MILLION DOLLARS!!!! raised in THREE DAYS!!! we think you might be happy 🥰 so we promise we will do our very best over the next twenty years plus, to make a difference to families lives experiencing ALL cancers. Many people say such incredibly kind words to me about what’s been achieved at the Foundation & I will ALWAYS be thankful. But, the only reason we do what we do is because of you Australia & I for that thank you from the bottom of my heart 💖 To Jane - look at what you started my beautiful, kind, caring, compassionate, funny friend. Although I can’t physically see you, I feel you by my side every single day & know you are proud of this incredible country & what it allows the @mcgrathfoundation to do in your name 💕 Until we meet again my friend 🥂

  • Jane McGrath Day is always the highlight of our year, but this one was pure magic. Starting with over 250 of our incredible supporters joining us on the pitch to remember Jane and celebrate our new purpose—care for all cancers—in front of a sold-out Sydney Cricket Ground, the energy was absolutely electric. From the touching pink baggy tribute by both teams to the spectacular Jane McGrath High Tea proudly supported by HCLTech, and the overwhelming show of support for families experiencing cancer and our McGrath Cancer Care Nurses around the grounds, it was a day we’ll cherish forever. 💕 Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special. #JaneMcGrathDay #PinkTest #McGrathFoundation

To keep up with the demand we’re increasing the capacity of our stadium to 450,000 seats! 💕 By purchasing your Virtual Pink Seats, you're helping ensure no one goes through cancer without the care of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.

  • “I definitely don’t have a Noelle. I’d love to have a Noelle." Kate and Kriss Hardmann know only too well the difference the support of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse makes. Kate has been diagnosed with breast cancer twice and is living with metastic breast cancer, while husband Kriss has also been diagnosed with testicular cancer. At the time of Kate’s second breast diagnosis, she was 33-weeks pregnant. “It was devastating. I rang Noelle and she was amazing. I had so many questions, and she answered every single one of them,” says Kate. “She was a fountain of knowledge and put Kriss and I at ease.” While Kriss says his cancer experience has been nothing like Kate’s, he adds the support of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse during his diagnosis and treatment would have been “really helpful”. “I didn’t have anyone in a professional capacity that had the knowledge, resources or the caring nature of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse. “There was no support, nothing unless I decided to strike up a conversation with a bloke in the waiting room. Any level of support would’ve been good when you’re going through a cancer diagnosis and surgery. That was lacking.” By purchasing your Virtual Pink Seats, you can help ensure that no one going through cancer misses out on the support of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.
