Grateful to support the McGrath Foundation

We are grateful here at newsxpress and at www.myornaments.com.au to offer a wonderful range of charity boxed Christmas cards that support the work of the wonderful McGrath Foundation, a vitally important support group here in Australia – a breast cancer support and education charity.

Each purchase of a McGrath Foundation charity boxed Christmas card pack from us supports their work. Here’s why we are grateful to support the work of McGrath Foundation:

The McGrath Foundation has been a steadfast supporter of individuals and families affected by breast cancer. Named after the late Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath and his wife Jane,the foundation was established in 2005 to raise funds for McGrath Breast Care Nurses.

These specially trained nurses provide vital support to people diagnosed with breast cancer,offering both physical and emotional care. They are available to assist patients from the time of diagnosis through treatment and beyond. The McGrath Foundation’s aim is to ensure that everyone in Australia has access to breast care nurses, regardless of their location or financial circumstances.

Here are some of the services provided by the McGrath Foundation:

  • Emotional support: Nurses offer a listening ear and provide guidance to patients and their families during the challenging journey of breast cancer treatment.
  • Practical assistance: They can help with tasks such as coordinating appointments,managing paperwork, and navigating the healthcare system.
  • Information and education: Nurses provide patients with up-to-date information about breast cancer and its treatment options.
  • Referral services: They can connect patients with other support services, such as counselling, financial assistance,or support groups.

The McGrath Foundation has achieved significant success in its mission, with a network of McGrath Breast Care Nurses operating across Australia. Through the generosity of donors,the foundation has been able to expand its reach and provide vital support to countless individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
