It was with a great sense of shock that we recently heard of Michael “Mouse” Brennan’s diagnosis with Lymphoma. We understand Mouse has had numerous tests already that have detected the cancer, but Mouse is about to undergo a series of further tests to determine the severity of the diagnosis.
Many Victorian’s will know Mouse, as he played a number of seasons with the Essendon Hockey Club, in which he helped lead them to two premierships. Before his triumphant return to the Kookaburra’s where he went on to win a Gold Medal at the Athens Olympics. Many Melbournians commented at the time that no single player in the history of Victorian Hockey had made such a definitive impact on the entire State League One competition…much less a Queenslander! In short: he was bloody awesome.
We will keep you all informed as more information comes to hand, but Mouse’s partner Lara has set up a facebook support group to allow well-wishers to send messages to Mouse. (The Michael Brennan OAM (or Mouse to many) Lymphoma Support Group). We will post more information regarding the group shortly. Our thoughts are with Mouse, and on behalf of the entire hockey community wish him well at this tough time.
