Interview for ''The Daily Telegraph'' newspaper:
McGrath Foundation ''super squad'' united by a cause close to their hearts
One of singer Samantha Jade’s most enduring memories of her late mum Jacqueline is watching her struggle to write thank you cards to the nurses caring for her during her cancer battle.
Jade — one of the ''McGrath Foundation’s'' new ‘super squad' of ambassadors — lost her mum in 2014 just a few months after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer:
''The cancer had spread to her liver - and while she initially found a tumour in her breast, we don’t know where the cancer originated'', she said, ''What i do know is how incredible it was to watch her in her darkest hour, after she’d been told she didn’t have long to live yet she focused on making everyone around her feel good. She made me get presents for her nurses and even though she was so weak she struggled to write, she’d sit there and try to write them cards to thank them for her care.''
Those nurses kept the entire family going through that saddest of times which is why Jade was only too happy to sign on as one of a trio of ambassadors — alongside breakfast tv presenter James Tobin and McGrath co-founder Tracy Bevan — ahead of ''Breast Cancer Awareness Month''.
