## Resource

She’s one of the stars of Welcome to Wrexham and Rob and Ryan’s official Welsh translator. As a reporter she’s been caught up in coups and visited nuclear disasters but nothing could prepare her for her own battle over the last 18 months. In a Fearless in Devotion special, Andy and Liam talk to Maxine Hughes as she lifts the lid on her battle with triple negative cancer. She reveals how the Wrexham AFC family helped her - especially Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds. She also talks how Welcome to Wrexham has changed Wales’ standing on the global stage plus just how long she thinks Ryan and Rob will stay involved with the club - and how it’s dominating their lives It’s a must listen as Maxine talks so openly and candidly about a range of subjects and gives great insights into how Ryan and Rob work.
