Sad Loss

Posted on June 23, 2008. Filed under: Daily Drivel |

I am so saddened to hear that Jane McGrath has lost her battle with breast cancer. I know millions of women struggle with this disease (including my mum), but Jane had become such a public face (in Australia) and she was so vibrant and wonderful and her death is tragic.

For my non-Australian readers, Jane was the wife of cricketing superstar Glenn McGrath. She has had a very public and courageous battle with breast cancer over the past 11 years. Diagnosed at age 31. Died age 42.

She and Glenn started the McGrath foundation to try and increase awareness of the disease, particularly in young women. She did a wonderful interview with Andrew Denton in 2004 where she stole the show. She was truly inspirational. She leaves behind two gorgeous kids. A gorgeous mum and a wonderful woman. May she rest in peace.
