During winter in Newcastle you would be hard pressed to walk down the street without seeing a Mark Hughes Foundation beanie on a Novocastrian head.
The unofficial uniform is a product of the foundation and its founder who played rugby league for Newcastle, NSW and in the English Super League.
In 2013 Mark Hughes had an operation to remove an avocado sized tumour from his brain and went through rounds of treatment to try and beat a condition which arrived with few warning signs. It was great to have a yarn with Mark, who is striving to make sure those hit with brain cancer have an increasingly good chance of beating this terrible disease.
