- At home with Australian cricket legend Glenn McGrath as he and his growing family continue to honour the legacy of his late wife Jane, who died from breast cancer more than 13 years ago.
Glenn looks back over a glittering cricket career and the achievements of the McGrath Foundation, which is well on the way to achieving its goal of providing a free breast care nurse to every breast cancer patient in Australia.
Glenn and Jane’s children, James and Holly, speak publicly for the first time about their mother’s legacy, the crucial role Glenn’s second wife Sara had in their upbringing and their growing involvement in the McGrath Foundation.

THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM AND FANS AT THE TIME WERE THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE AT THAT TIME AND SOME STILL ARE
Even in High School he was not just a great cricketer but also a great guy. A result of growing up in a great community. Playing against him as a kid I’m not surprised at what he became.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. The sheer humbleness of the man. Very authentic, plus a beautiful, loving family.
I simply just LOVE the Australian team although I am a South African and now a Great Legend also died RIP Warnie 😭🙏
Good on ya Brett SA is a great team our brother country kind words brother 🙏 God bless you man put a big smile and happy feeling reading your post
Good onya Glenn. I remember hiring you as the Elders Australia Brand Ambassador. Best business decision I ever made. We were proud to be associated with you, Jayne and the Foundation. God bless you mate.
I lost my wife in cancer in last month, she was so charming, co operative, life is suddenly stopped after her death 😭 I have also a 5 years old baby boy, don't know how to overcome this situation...
I'm sorry to hear that, my heart goes out to you. Try to find a support group with those who have already been through what you're going. God bless you 🙂
Respect this bloke, remember using his autobiographical book " Line and Strength" as a great motivation during my honours year in 2012. Exceptionally inspirational campaigner and 🐐. ❤️ From South Africa 😊
Glen you're a legendary Australian cricketer. Loved watching you open with the fresh pill
Wow, that's a tough watch but inspiring how he coped and has gone on to help and inspire those in the future.
A truly decent Aussie..God bless you Glenn.
They are awesome. What a family
Worth the watch and beautiful story presented in a very sensitive way .

Really an great fellow Glen and god bless his family.
Beautiful story💕
I always love this man glenn McGrath.
What an incredible story, Thanks ABC 👍
Glenn has made great decisions in his sport life and private life. Truly blessed by the universe...
Very inspiring story
He married a flower of Australian womanhood, a flower of universal womanhood. A great cricketer, a great man who was brave enough to love her fully. May she rest guarded by angels. May her love for her man inspire men like us to go on with a song of hope on our lips.
God Bless him, his living wife(may she live long and cherished),his children forever.
seriously
@@letsseeif Exactly! Seriously?!?
What a beautiful family
Glen macgrath was a great player as well as good human being
My favorite bowler
Wonderful man glen mcgrath
And god bless his family
big game hunter trophy taker on a money making machine ......................
Didn't he admit to shooting pigs at his parent's farm for 'relaxation'?
Brilliant bowler though!
❤️
Reading the comments just confirms my life phylosophy which is, live your life as it feels right for you there will always be people who have something negative to say…
Wow
Writing from India. Glen sad to hear about the pain you endured.
♥️♥️
I want the "Oohh Ahhh Glenn McGrath" hot sauce back on supermarket shelves.
To the tune of IRA song. The Irish are amazing. Lol
I have tromendous respect for you Brett Lee Glenn Mcgrath Jason Gillespie Andy Bichel etc by Steve Irungu Jermaine
How nice for him. Lots of people lose loved ones to cancer, and sadly they have neither the fame nor fortune to either establish a foundation, nor even find love again, no matter how much they may want to.
ahem to that !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good onya Glenn
Nice guy..
It's a worthy cause & respect to McGrath for championing it. However, the sheer mountain of money that goes to breast cancer research doesn't appear to have done anything to lower the death rate in 20 yrs. In 2000 approximately 1800 women (40-79) died. 20 years later, 2000. There are questions to be asked here clearly.
God, luv ya!
Well now its history McGrath's 1st wife gone and now Shane Warne too
Good player, gleen was fast boiler
Spelling
Mistake
Is that Rove?
Jesus loves you
Casy
FBI Will not let Go,.
When people get to make money... big money out of someone's death .. setting up a foundation to supercharge a sundry (any) worthy cause, one has to wonder whether big game hunting taking their body parts for trophies is really 'on'! NOT on the life radar or the longterm wealth mechanism. ironically, " that's life "
Cheer up mate. There are some good people in this world, and he's one of them.
He apologised for shooting the elephant,,,,,bit late for the elephant,,,,,,
@@ucviet1 what about the pigs?
they should find a cure for cancer as soon as possible
Did you happen to mention his love of slaughtering wild animals?
see comment above
MONGREL............Killing those beautiful animals !!!..............You've lost my vote McGrath..............
Oh let’s forget about the elephant in the room
THEY WON'T TELL YOU THAT THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM AND FANS AT THE TIME WERE AMONG THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE YOU COULD FIND AND SOME STILL ARE.
is that you Ramnaresh?
Rubbish.
