This is When We Grow Up, the podcast where we ask where we’ve been, to know where we’re going.

Ahead of Beanie for Brain Cancer Round this week in the NRL, we are so lucky to be joined by the man that makes it happen every single year.

A 2-time Premiership winner with the Newcastle Knights, Mark has become an even more inspirational figure with the work he has done off the field since retiring. After being diagnosed with Brain Cancer in 2013, he quickly established the Mark Hughes Foundation, with hopes of finding a cure for the disease.

Thanks so much for listening!
