Ponting shows his softer side for cancer research

The Sydney Morning Herald’s Alex Brown talks to Ricky Ponting about his charity work with cancer patients at the Sydney Children’s Hospital. The Pontings have already raised more than A$1 million for cancer research.

"Having visited maybe 15 or 20 young cancer sufferers [on the first day], my wife and I walked out holding back tears and we both felt that we could do something to help. We both became ambassadors of the charity very soon after that.”
