A great cricket player but also an inspirational and charitable Australian, and a fine motivational speaker!

In 2008 Glenn had the honour of being named as a member of the Order of Australia for ‘service to cricket as a player’. Later that year Glenn was the recipient of the NSW Australian of the Year Award acknowledging his leadership and tireless dedication to the McGrath Foundation.
The McGarth Foundation was established to increase the number of breast care nurses across the country and to raise breast cancer awareness. Leveraging off Glenn’s profile as a top international cricketer and drawing from Jane’s personal experience the foundation has had tremendous success.

After Glenn’s five years as Chairman, he assumed the role of President of the Board.
Glenn is now recognised as an outspoken supporter for improved services for breast cancer and increased education for younger women towards breast cancer awareness.
