Speaker 1: next guess one of the greatest bowlers in history, he's

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: the driving force behind a foundation that he and his

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: late wife, Jane McGrath started around eighteen years ago. The

5

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: breast cancer over the years, and there's now a way

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: we can help too. Glenn joins us this morning. Hello Glenn,

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Hi Amanda, how are you very well? Thank you? Sad

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: news we must reference this at the beginning sad news

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: here of the passing of Dean Jones this week.

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: Oh, without a doubt, I think it came as a

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: massive shock to everyone. I know. I was out at

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: my brother's place out the other side of Burke and

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: when I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: After talking to a few mates and had it confirmed,

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: it's just yea a massive shock. You know, he's a

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: amazing cricket of what the impact he had on on

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: cricket the one day game just before I left the

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: country moved to the city. You know, I used to

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: watch him play and love watching him play, and I

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: was lucky enough to play alongside him and kaism, my mate.

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: So that was a massive shop definitely.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 3: As that story I was reading about Elton John saving

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: his financial bacon with that Manchester United is extraordinary.

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's a lot of incredible stories there and

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: I think Jones had an impact on a lot of

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: people around the world and that pretty amazing.

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the McGrath Foundation. I know people

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: firsthand who have been helped through this. It's not just

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: raising awareness, it's practically putting nurses where they're needed to, isn't.

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: It, Glenn, Well, it is and sort of from firsthand experience,

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: you know, we found out well it's been a while now,

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: but there was a big shortage and the difference they make,

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: the positive difference they make in people's lives going through

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: prest cancer I don't mean the person but the whole

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: family is incredible. So, you know, we realized that was

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: a big shortage and that's why we start the foundation

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: twelve probably fifteen years ago now two thousand and five.

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: So I think now we have one hundred and fifty

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: one nurses across Australia and they've supported more than ninety

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: thousand families going through breast cancer. It just blows me away.

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: The support has been amazing, and I've spoken to a

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: lot of people that have dealt with our nurses and

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: they say the positive impact it's had in their lives

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: has been incredible. So hearing those stories inspires me to

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: keep going and to know what we're doing is make

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: a big difference. And I feel very proud.

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: Well, I was reading in the foundation has supported eighty

49
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: six thousand families impacted by breast cancer. That's extraordinary.

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's amazing how quickly time goes. But

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: it sort of puts life in perspective when you go

52
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: through things like this, and you know, to me, it's

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: about the quality of life, not so much the quantity.

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: And if we can improve someone's quality just by having

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: a breast care nurse available there, you know, twenty four

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: to seven from when they're first diagnosed, that's the least

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: we can do. And like you said, it's impacted so

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: many people in a positive way.

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: I know that twenty twenty has made it hard for

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the fundraising events that many people are

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: normally involved in, but there is a way we can

62
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: help and this is through IgA.

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I g I have been big supporters of

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: the McGrath Foundation for over ten years now. It's been

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: absolutely incredible a partnership that we've had there and you

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: know again this year they're supporting us. And so people

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: who want to get out there and support the McGrath Foundation,

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: they can go and shop at IgA. There's fourteen hundred

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: stores across Australia. You know, they really get out there

70
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: and support the locals whatever they can. But if you

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: go in there and buy any product with a Community

72
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Chest ticket on it, so products through the store have

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: Community Chest tickets and from the purchase of those things

74
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: a donation comes through to the McGrath Foundation. And in

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: the last ten years they've donated over two million dollars

76
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: to the foundation. So really proud of that partnership.

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: That's extraordinary. And have you been able to identify any

78
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: more doable cricketing talent because you did pick Neil Wagner

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: back in two thousand and three and look at it

80
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: was that he's number two in the world.

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I know that was back when he was

82
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: so South African. It was funny. I saw the reports

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: on that after the series against New Zealand there and

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: I had to go back. I did a World Cup

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: diary I think for the two thousand and three World

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Cup there, and you know I had to go through

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: just to check, just to make sure. So yeah, it was. Yeah,

88
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: he's definitely a talent. I like his attitude, the way

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: he goes about it. From a young fellow, you know,

90
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: he looked like he had that ability, so it's it's amazing. Well,

91
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: it's always nice when you make a bit of prediction

92
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: and it comes off.

93
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: Well, he's not as good as you though, Glenn.

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,240
