Jane McGrath - 1966-2008

Labels: , , ,

The Attic team would like to offer their sincere condolences to Glenn McGrath and his family, following the death of his wife, Jane.

Jane passed away at the age of 42, after a long battle with cancer. Jane leaves behind Glenn and their two children, James and Holly.

Jane was a strong advocate in the fight against breast cancer and, along with Glenn, established the McGrath Foundation to help raise money for the fight.

The Australian cricket team will honor Jane by wearing pink ribbons, which represents the McGrath Foundation, and using pink handles on their bats, during their one-day International against the West Indies on Tuesday.

Ricky Ponting :- "Jane was a wonderful person who fought and maintained dignity during her long-term illness."

"She was a tremendous mother to James and Holly, and shared a very special and deep relationship with Glenn in the time they had together."

She will be dearly missed by the Australian Cricket community...

The NRL have also paid their respects to Jane, by having a minute's silence before yesterday's games. They also raised around 21 thousand dollars for the McGrath Foundation.

We offer Glenn and his family our deepest sympathy, and wish them all the best in the future.
