The Australian cricket team was joined on Saturday by two McGrath Foundation Breast Care nurses at the SCG as the Test in Sydney turns pink to support the placing of further breast care nurses around the country.
McGrath Foundation Chairman Glenn McGrath presented each Australian player with a specially-made baggy pink cap from Albion, as nurses Bronnie Taylor and Catrina Ross joined the traditional SCG team photo.
Catrina Ross works as a McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse at Hornsby, Manly, Mona Vale and Ryde hospitals, while Bronnie Taylor is a McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse for Cooma Cancer Services.
Bronnie Taylor's experience in rural NSW has given her a first-hand look at the important role Breast Care Nurses play:
"Many of the women and families that I see already have to travel some distance for their treatment and, in all honesty, I have seen this affect women's decisions on what treatment they will take. By being a McGrath Breast Care Nurse, right there, on the ground, I can give them whatever support they need, be that advice on the side effects of some medicines right through to recipes to try for food that they and their family may be able to eat."
