'Around the Grounds' with Mark Hughes total champion and founder of MHF

My ‘Around the grounds’ guest today is Mark Hughes - a total champion and absolute wonderful human being!


Mark had an illustrious career in rugby league; winning two premierships with the Newcastle Knights and representing New South Wales at State of Origin level. It was after hanging up his boots however that proved the biggest challenge of Marks life when in 2013, he was diagnosed with brain cancer.


In true Mark spirt is it was during his own treatment that knew he had to start a foundation to help others with brain cancer. And so, with the support of his amazing wife Kirralee the Mark Hughes Foundation launched.


The foundation works tirelessly to raise funds and awareness for brain cancer. To date the foundation has raised an incredible 20 million dollars! This weekend marks the fifth year in a row that the foundation has partnered with the NRL to host the ‘Beanies for Brain Cancer’ Round.


Mark’s personal journey and his outlook on living your best life are both inspiring and uplifting. Even though he loves smooth peanut butter I loved chatting to my old mate on the pod.


You can buy a beanie in Australia at Lowes, selected IGA’s and online at www.markhughesfoundation.com.au follow on social media @markhughesfoundation and check out ways to support the charity.
