21
00:00:59,053 --> 00:00:59,733
Speaker 3: What brought you to that.

22
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:05,013
Speaker 4: I've had a life in corporate and charity and I

23
00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:07,893
Speaker 4: lost my mum to cancer in two thousand and seven,

24
00:01:08,533 --> 00:01:11,893
Speaker 4: so it felt like the stars were aligned when those

25
00:01:11,933 --> 00:01:14,613
Speaker 4: flash Headhunters rang me and said, hey, the Cancer Society

26
00:01:14,693 --> 00:01:17,373
Speaker 4: is looking for a new CEO, and I thought, I'm

27
00:01:17,413 --> 00:01:18,773
Speaker 4: going to do this for mum.

28
00:01:19,292 --> 00:01:19,693
Speaker 3: Good on you.

29
00:01:19,813 --> 00:01:23,452
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what support out there or is there out

30
00:01:23,493 --> 00:01:26,413
Speaker 2: there at the moment, Andrew, for people going through cancer

31
00:01:26,533 --> 00:01:27,892
Speaker 2: or cancer within their own family.

32
00:01:28,572 --> 00:01:30,452
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's what we're all about. So the CAN

33
00:01:30,493 --> 00:01:33,933
Speaker 4: Society is there to really provide that wrap around service

34
00:01:34,493 --> 00:01:37,533
Speaker 4: or free services, and that's what we've been doing for

35
00:01:37,572 --> 00:01:40,853
Speaker 4: almost one hundred years, is helping kiwis through often what

36
00:01:41,013 --> 00:01:42,933
Speaker 4: is the toughest battle of their lives.

37
00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:43,773
Speaker 3: Yeah.

38
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:46,693
Speaker 4: Really proud of our bigger array of services.

39
00:01:46,333 --> 00:01:46,932
Speaker 2: As you should be.

40
00:01:47,093 --> 00:01:49,973
Speaker 3: So how will someone's nation be spent? How is it

41
00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:51,653
Speaker 3: used to help cancer sufferers?

42
00:01:51,893 --> 00:01:54,933
Speaker 4: Are lots of really important ways. So the CAN Society's

43
00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:57,973
Speaker 4: the biggest private funder of cancer research in New Zealand.

44
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:00,293
Speaker 4: So we're determined we're out there to try and find

45
00:02:00,293 --> 00:02:03,573
Speaker 4: that cure or better pathways or better drugs to prolong

46
00:02:03,653 --> 00:02:08,053
Speaker 4: life or even to minimize cancer. So we're out there

47
00:02:08,413 --> 00:02:10,132
Speaker 4: that research day in and day out.

48
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:12,173
Speaker 3: Now I should probably know this, but it just struck

49
00:02:12,213 --> 00:02:14,532
Speaker 3: me because I've been part of deafitil days for many

50
00:02:14,613 --> 00:02:17,333
Speaker 3: years now and been involved. But where does the daffodil

51
00:02:17,373 --> 00:02:19,532
Speaker 3: come from? And it's what's the symbolism there?

52
00:02:19,813 --> 00:02:23,572
Speaker 4: We actually bludged that idea from overseas, like any good

53
00:02:23,613 --> 00:02:29,853
Speaker 4: idea seldom unique. So over thirty five years ago, one

54
00:02:29,853 --> 00:02:32,973
Speaker 4: of our board members was traveling overseas through Europe and

55
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:36,373
Speaker 4: saw that kaner societies over there were using the beautiful,

56
00:02:36,693 --> 00:02:39,733
Speaker 4: bright yellow daffodil as a symbol of hope, like a

57
00:02:39,813 --> 00:02:42,893
Speaker 4: ray of sunshine, and thought, oh, what the hell, it's

58
00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:44,412
Speaker 4: quite a good idea, and came back and said, we

59
00:02:44,532 --> 00:02:47,053
Speaker 4: don't we borrow that ideas?

60
00:02:47,252 --> 00:02:54,373
Speaker 3: That's a very cool stylized daffodil single. You're wearing shirt there, skiddy,

61
00:02:54,453 --> 00:02:56,533
Speaker 3: What would you call that jump T shirt?

62
00:02:56,613 --> 00:02:56,733
Speaker 1: Oh?

63
00:02:56,773 --> 00:02:58,053
Speaker 3: It's a T shirt, I see because it's got a

64
00:02:58,093 --> 00:03:00,253
Speaker 3: long black sleeve underneath it. Right, it looks cool.

65
00:03:00,733 --> 00:03:01,853
Speaker 2: Is that the design for this year?

66
00:03:02,013 --> 00:03:02,252
Speaker 1: Is it?

67
00:03:03,053 --> 00:03:06,653
Speaker 4: Mister vintage used to do a whole collection and this

68
00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:10,292
Speaker 4: was about four years ago, but I'm into vintage T shirts. Yeah,

69
00:03:10,373 --> 00:03:11,693
Speaker 4: you just keep rolling them out.

70
00:03:11,853 --> 00:03:13,973
Speaker 3: Absolutely accuse you of wearing a single.

71
00:03:16,853 --> 00:03:19,132
Speaker 4: We're quite rural, so whatever.

72
00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:21,933
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now let's talk about the partnership with A and Z.

73
00:03:22,093 --> 00:03:24,493
Speaker 2: Those guys have supported you for for quite a few

74
00:03:24,573 --> 00:03:25,413
Speaker 2: years now, haven't they.

75
00:03:25,532 --> 00:03:28,493
Speaker 4: Well over thirty years, and it's a partnership that runs

76
00:03:28,532 --> 00:03:31,813
Speaker 4: deep and means a huge amount. So A and Z

77
00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:34,733
Speaker 4: get behind us. All of their staff are made up of,

78
00:03:34,813 --> 00:03:38,893
Speaker 4: you know, thousands of really amazing people and many have

79
00:03:39,013 --> 00:03:42,213
Speaker 4: gone through the cancer journey as well. So they mobilize

80
00:03:42,253 --> 00:03:45,773
Speaker 4: themselves into workplaces and they do bake sales, and they

81
00:03:45,773 --> 00:03:49,293
Speaker 4: do a huge amount of internal fundraising and they're just

82
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:51,693
Speaker 4: an incredible you heartner.

83
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:56,093
Speaker 3: The one and three number is quite a scary number.

84
00:03:56,813 --> 00:04:00,693
Speaker 3: Is that going up or leveling or going down? Where

85
00:04:00,733 --> 00:04:02,653
Speaker 3: are we in terms of cancer rates in this country?

86
00:04:02,773 --> 00:04:05,693
Speaker 4: Yeah, so very scary. Just to explain that one in

87
00:04:05,773 --> 00:04:10,213
Speaker 4: three Kiwis will be diagnosed with cancer in their life time. Unfortunately,

88
00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:13,893
Speaker 4: the global forecasting is that that'll become one and two

89
00:04:14,373 --> 00:04:17,493
Speaker 4: diagnosed with cancer within twenty years.

90
00:04:18,213 --> 00:04:21,652
