1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: We certainly are for the Cancer Society. Relay for Life

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: is tomorrow. And somebody who's lapped this a couple of

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: times and his back as one of the organizers is

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Sally read morning to you morning. Okay, yeah, how many

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: have you been part of?

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: Now?

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 3: I think this is my fourth fab Yeah.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: So for someone who hasn't encountered relay before, what are

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: we in store for.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: An awesome day?

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Basically it's a little bit different this year going down

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: to the twelve ten am, but I think that's good

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: because it gets families a chance to get along.

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: If anything has opened it up. Yes, Team Hawk and

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: OW we as primarily my neighbors or have young kids

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: and everybody, you know. The commitment has been pretty cool

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: to see, you know, all the clans coming down and

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: it's a license for the young kids. They have a

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: bit of a night out.

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: And also I think being a rural community, this single

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: day is much easier for a lot of our you know,

22
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: farming related firms to get on board as well.

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: So it's given off kind of like festival market vibes. Yes,

24
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: so that we're going down this afternoon to set up

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: our site. As I imagined, most other teams are so

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: pretty much every team that's entered has like a marquet

27
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: they're putting up around the edge of the track, right yep.

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: And then they're selling baking and activities.

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: Oh, there's all sorts going on.

30
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean, in fact, you know, like our thing this

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: year we're doing art, so we've got an art sale on,

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: so a silent doction so you know, if people want

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: to come in along and have a look at that,

34
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: that's come about as something a bit different, you know,

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: but that's it.

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: There's so many different things being done out there, yea.

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: And there's the stage with the entertainment of course those

38
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: who are walking. So the message we really want to

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: get across is if you're not registered as part of

40
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a team, you're more than welcome to come on down

41
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: and be part of it anyway.

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, look the energy of the place.

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, it's about a somber thing, but it's

44
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: about celebrating the people that have been, that have gone on,

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: the ones that are still fighting, and raising funds to

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: support them basically and to support reach research into this

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: hideous disease basically. But you're right, it is. It's a

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: it's a really joyous occasion to be a part of.

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what are the magic moments? The stuff not

50
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: to be missed.

51
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: The opening ceremony is pretty special. It's the survivors and Kira's.

52
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: Lap basically the special sash. They were a sash striking.

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: And you know, you've got people that have been through

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: years ago that have come back time and time again,

55
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: which you know, that's that's a great success story for

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: a start, and people that are still going through it

57
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: that you know, walking a lap can be really hard

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: on them. And then after that, like there's a pipe

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: band for that part of it, and then after that

60
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: everyone joins in and you find that pretty much all

61
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: of the teams and all of the members of every team.

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: Are on the track right there. And then after that first.

63
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Lap, could you not feel like you want to? Yeah?

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's beautiful. They're entertainment and fund throughout the day.

65
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: That's going to be so anytime that you come along,

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: there'll be something going on.

67
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: Pretty much.

68
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have some tissues put aside

69
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: for the candlelights. Yeah, it's about nine pm, that's happening

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: eight Yeah.

71
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: The candlelight ceremony is really poignant. I bet it's a

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: beautiful thing.

73
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

74
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: And then the rest of the laps are done with

75
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: the candlebags there, which is all the memorial kind of thing.

76
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Nebrue's decorated their candlebag so people haven't had a chance

77
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: to do their bags before they get out there and

78
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: pretty them up or do whatever they want them to.

79
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: There is a candlebag tent there as well.

80
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: We decorating about this, yes, so they'll.

81
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: Be able to pop in there and do that.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: That's the task for the kids. Absolutely, and just quickly,

83
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: is this the greatest pre match support that you've ever seen?

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: My cup has been overflowing leading up to the events

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: with all the daffodils and the dressing that businesses have

86
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: around town and the fundraising efforts. I mean, I don't

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: sort of want to point out, but at the same time,

88
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: so we've got our event this weekend and then christ

89
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Church is running these next weekend. Our fundraising is sitting

90
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: over one hundred and forty thousand dollars. Christ Church is

91
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: only twenty four ye thousand dollars, so I mean there's

92
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: that real sense of ownership here right.

93
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, Mid Canterbury are just phenomenal. They support and

94
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: support and support. It is such a given community. You

95
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: give them any reason to put their hand in their

96
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: pocket and if they've got a dollar, they'll throw it

97
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: at you.
