The Mark Hughes Foundation earned widespread recognition during a special event, specifically during the 10th annual Beanie for Brain Cancer Round on Thursday. Wests Tigers paid tribute to a late coach, Alex Clarke, through wearing symbolic beanies and clinching the event's name.
Every team in the NRL showed up, donning match-day beanies to shine a light on brain-cancer awareness. Nine’s A Current Affair ran a special segment on a coach’s personal struggle overcoming adversity, intertwining his journey with the foundation’s noble mission to drive long-term funding toward life-saving breakthroughs.
