The Mark Hughes Foundation earned widespread recognition this week, specifically during the 10th annual Beanie for Brain Cancer Round on Thursday. Wests Tigers paid tribute to a late coach, Alex Clarke, by wearing beanies and clinching the event's name.
Every team in the NRL participated, donning match-day beanies to highlight brain cancer research. Nine’s A Current Affair ran a heartfelt segment on a coach’s personal struggle overcoming adversity, intertwining his journey with the foundation’s noble mission to drive long-term funding toward an eventual cure.
