ABOUT THE MCGRATH FOUNDATION
Ours is a story with simple – but well-known – beginnings. It started with Jane and Glenn McGrath’s very public experience with breast cancer, and has become one of Australia’s most recognised and respected charities, the McGrath Foundation.
Jane McGrath’s experience with her breast care nurse set the mission for the Foundation, which has become an enduring commitment to support thousands of women and men (and their families) every day, no matter where they live – for free. Since 2005, more than 50,000 families have been supported by a McGrath Breast Care Nurse.
We raise funds to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia, as well as lending our voice to increasing breast health understanding and awareness.
