Line & Strength – Glenn McGrath

From working the land in Narromine to winning cricket’s World Cup three times, Glenn McGrath has always faced life with fierce determination and an unerring will to succeed, despite the odds. Now, following his retirement from international cricket, McGrath shares the story of his life – in cricket and off the field.

Glenn McGrath’s most meaningful achievements, however, have been off the field. With his wife Jane, a survivor of breast and bone cancers, he established the McGrath Foundation, a major fundraiser for and supporter of people with breast cancer. Here, in their own words, the McGrath’s discuss their ongoing battles with the disease.

LINE AND STRENGTH is the tell-all story of an Australian country boy who took on the world. After battling cancer for 11 years, Jane died on 22 June 2008. Glenn McGrath is one of my heroes. He is a wonderful person & his wife Jane was a remarkable human being. For a great read, go & buy the book & you will not be disappointed. The book is being released on the 1st August 2008.

Two Flat Whites would like to pass on it’s deepest sympathies to the McGrath family. We appreciate all you have done for Australia Glenn & look forward to seeing the McGrath Foundation grow stronger.
