And that's why we're doing this 63 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: this morning to raise money. It was over a million 64 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: dollars that that you guys helped us raise last year, 65 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: and that's the goal again this year. I noticed, Jason 66 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: that they put a man in charge of us this 67 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: year as a man in charge of it? Now, is that 68 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: because of previous performance or what I mean, like, why 69 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: is there now a man standing over us that works 70 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: for the hospital, who's in charge of us. 71 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, mister Aaron is keeping us in line today? 72 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Aaron, I here, we will give you a microphone eron. 73 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: We noticed this year that Danna put someone in charge 74 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: of us, and I was just curious. Is that was 75 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: there an internal meeting of some kind or a series 76 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: of emails perhaps where we're several meeting I understand, and 77 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: so and what was the main concern? You know, I 78 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: cannot confirm or deny. I see, so it's an internal 79 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: sort of situation. But all I know is that this 80 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: year there's a man with a vest that says Larry 81 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Children's Hospital, a name tag and a clipboard. Yes, whose 82 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: job it is is to make sure that we don't 83 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: do anything stupid? But that's what we do. I thought 84 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: that's why we were here, to make sure you do 85 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: do a little stupid, you stay on time while doing it. Okay, 86 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: So is there like some kind of shock attached to it? 87 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: Is this a shock collar? That those are not lights 88 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: on your round? I knew it. I knew there was 89 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: an ultra because we're the only ones that have them. 90 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: So we're wearing these little thank you and Aaron, We're 91 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: gonna make you proud this morning.

But I've noticed 94 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: we'd only well, I guess other people have a bit. 95 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: Mine has a big box attached to the backup. 96 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 6: Yeah. 97 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out why that. Yeah, and for 98 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: some reason, Jason also has control of the remote, which 99 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: is really inappropriate and. 100 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: Astounding. 101 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Mad.

And 146 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: then it really starts to get a little dicey when 147 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: we start ranking two, three, four, five. I mean AJ 148 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: is right up there though, but he's already dropped off 149 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: a bag of gold to Blooms. 150 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 3: One shot shots obviously. 151 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: The Blooms Brooms.

Like give some examples, Kalen. 400 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 5: So that one always gets me, but two other ones 401 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 5: that get me is for twenty five dollars, Just twenty 402 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 5: five dollars, I mean, how many things are more expensive 403 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 5: than that. These little ones in the nick you get 404 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 5: a comfort doll which actually makes me want to cry 405 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 5: thinking about it, because they need to be cuddled because 406 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 5: their parents aren't here. 407 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: Twenty four to seven. 408 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 5: Something else that always gets me is whenever we interview 409 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 5: one of these little kiddos and we ask them, you know, 410 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 5: shout out your favorite nurse, it's very apparent that they 411 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 5: can think of one right away and they have the sweetest, 412 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 5: most special bond with them. Fifty bucks, they get a 413 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 5: birthday celebration. I mean, you don't think about like they 414 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 5: just want to be normal kids. And of course they're 415 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 5: going to have birthdays while they're here, and for just 416 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 5: fifty dollars, that can be possible. 417 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 3: And I love that they think of stuff like that. 418 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you'll hear stories throughout the morning of different people. 419 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: Now I want to talk Kiki. You saw Marshall recently, 420 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: my buddy. Yes, Now, Marshall was on last year and 421 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: he was awaiting a hard transplant that he has since received. Yes, 422 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: and now the dudes out like he can dunk a 423 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: basketball and he's like seven or eight years old, like 424 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: thunbelieve it. Like the things he's doing now, he's like, 425 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: it's incredible. But that's an example of he was here 426 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: I think for eight or nine months, yes, awaiting a 427 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: heart transplant, and he couldn't leave. And so imagine the 428 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: sorts of milestones that you miss, birthdays and Christmas and 429 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, all different kinds of things, and they sort 430 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: of try and replicate those things here to make life 431 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: as normal as possible. But that all that stuff costs money. 432 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: But the fact that they think about it something else 433 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: is you know how they kind of wrap their arms 434 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: around the whole family here at Larry Children's Hospital. It's 435 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: kind of like they include the siblings in the process, 436 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: and the child life specialists sort of help educate the 437 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: family and the other siblings on what's going on with 438 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: their brother or sister and you know, how to talk 439 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: about it. And then they communicated to them in a 440 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: way that they can understand depending on their age, and 441 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: make them kind of part of the process because I 442 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: think what you'll hear throughout the morning and throughout the day. 443 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: Oftentimes the simplers kind of get lost in this process 444 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: because the parents are so focused on the care of 445 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: the sick kid and maybe that requires, you know, them 446 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: to be here all the time and not going to 447 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: basketball games and soccer practice and the things that you know, 448 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: we take for granted as parents and and you know 449 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: as children, so they thought of all those different things. 450 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: But again, to have the best childlife specialists costs money, 451 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: and you can help make that happen this morning.

I don't say this like giving money and 746 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: twenty bucks a month is nothing because I know that 747 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: it's not. However, it's sixty seven cents a day. I mean, 748 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: you truly could be saving a child's life. But whether 749 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: it's a dollar or five or ten, every single dollar 750 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: counts and makes a difference. And we would love for 751 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: you to make an impact today because the need is great. 752 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: The demand for high quality children's healthcare in times of injury, 753 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: illness or treatment is great. These are obviously very stressful 754 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: times for families, especially those caring for their ill or 755 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: injured child. And we've talked about heart transplants. I mean, 756 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about cancer treatment this morning. I 757 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: mean yeah, and you sure. I mean basic things too, 758 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: like if your kid gets injured, you want he or 759 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: she to have the best care. They do it all 760 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: here at Ard Children's Hospital. It's a world class organization. 761 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: Not every city has one like this, and we do. 762 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: But I think part of that is to support it 763 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: and make sure that it continues to thrive. And we 764 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: can do it with your health this morning. The goal 765 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: is to raise over a million dollars.

As you can see, 1440 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 20: she's wild. I'm out of ruth from walking down there 1441 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 20: with her. But she's always been. 1442 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 3: Our wild child. 1443 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 20: So when she stopped walking or walking with a limp, 1444 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 20: we were like, what's happening? 1445 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 3: Not her, No, this is not Yeah. 1446 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,480 Speaker 20: We found she had an ear infection and so that 1447 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:40,080 Speaker 20: was treated, and then she started getting like random low 1448 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 20: grade fevers on the antibiotic, and so our pediatrician. 1449 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 3: Was very quick to pull blood work and he called us. 1450 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,439 Speaker 20: And he said, you know, I am ninety nine point 1451 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 20: nine percent sure that based on her blood work that 1452 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 20: she does have leukemia.

Just pause right there 1455 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: for a minute.

And she looked at me and I said, no, 1466 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 19: We're going to Larry's. And honestly, it's because of this radiothon. 1467 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,360 Speaker 19: We were evid listening. 1468 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 3: I think you messaged me and you were like, we're 1469 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 3: choosing Laurie, and that's amazing. It's an amazing. 1470 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 19: Choice because of you, guys, and because of this radiothon 1471 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 19: and the awareness you brought to what they're doing here 1472 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 19: and how advanced they are with everything they are doing. 1473 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 19: And that's made probably could have been the hardest decision 1474 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,800 Speaker 19: of our life of where to go so much easier, 1475 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 19: Like we're going to Larry's, there's no question of it. 1476 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,440 Speaker 1: So did you go into like fight mode as apparent 1477 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,080 Speaker 1: when you find out that your child's sicke. It's like, 1478 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 1: because you can't be weak, right, because they need you, 1479 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 1: and it doesn't really do any good. But I got 1480 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 1: to think, just as a human, it's the worst possible 1481 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 1: thing that could happen. 1482 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, it really is, you know. 1483 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 20: I think when we found out, I just went into 1484 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 20: like a state of shock. And you're right, it is 1485 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:19,919 Speaker 20: just like fight mode. 1486 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 3: You have no other option but to beat it. 1487 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 20: So I think that's kind of the minds that we have, 1488 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:26,680 Speaker 20: and we're like, you know what, we will do this 1489 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 20: for her because we know she's got a long, wild 1490 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 20: future yet her second child, she's gonna get a run 1491 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,640 Speaker 20: eating her cheese balls right now, screaming my name. 1492 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I read that you said something 1493 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 1: that I thought because as a kid leukemia, people died 1494 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 1: from leukemia. That was sort of like a foregone conclusion people. 1495 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't curable. It didn't seem I mean, I can 1496 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: remember as a young kid raising money for leukemia. It's 1497 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 1: a whole different story now, right, And the prognosis is 1498 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,920 Speaker 1: amazing for Olivia, right, absolutely. 1499 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 19: And you hit it right in the head there, you know. 1500 01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 19: The first thing that went through my head, and I 1501 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 19: never said it out loud. But it was like, I'm 1502 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 19: gonna lose my baby, because we grew up at that 1503 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 19: time where that was such a like taboo word to 1504 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,160 Speaker 19: even say kin because it just wasn't curable and it 1505 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 19: sounded like you were just gonna go through it. But 1506 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 19: when we got here we met our doctor, doctor Lee, 1507 01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 19: she was just so confident that she was going to 1508 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 19: beat this. 1509 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 2: It wasn't like, oh, you know, maybe you will, there's 1510 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:26,920 Speaker 2: a good chance that. 1511 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 19: She was like, she's gonna beat this. I love it, 1512 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:31,320 Speaker 19: We're going to go through the treatment. This is what 1513 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 19: we're gonna do. 1514 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 2: She laid out our roadmap and she just totally flipped 1515 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 2: my mind frame of how she was going to beat this. 1516 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 1: And so she's in remission. 1517 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 13: Yes, she's in remission. 1518 01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 20: She actually hit remission twenty nine days into treatment, which 1519 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 20: was amazing. But unfortunately, even if kids do reach that 1520 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,320 Speaker 20: early remission, they do still need to complete the full 1521 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 20: leukemia treatment plan, which is a minimum of two years 1522 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,840 Speaker 20: and three months. She'll finish at about two and a 1523 01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 20: half years, so twenty twenty. 1524 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,240 Speaker 1: Seven, and then the prognosis is that she grows up 1525 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 1: just like any other kid. And I mean, I these 1526 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: people and yeah, I mean She's roasted me for several 1527 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: days now, so you know, it seems like everything is okay. 1528 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 1: But and she's she's eaten seven donuts since we started. 1529 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean, she looks so energetic and so healthy and 1530 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 1: has great color. I mean, I from from where we 1531 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,120 Speaker 1: started to where we are, I got to think it's 1532 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 1: night and day. 1533 01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, one percent. 1534 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 20: We saw so many changes in her through treatment, and 1535 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 20: now that we are we have intered maintenance. She's her 1536 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 20: personalities coming through. 1537 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 5: Does she have a favorite nurse because I always love 1538 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 5: to ask because I feel like the bonds are so special. 1539 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, she does have a favorite nurse. That's Nurse Harper. 1540 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,920 Speaker 20: And you know, the thing that we love about Harper 1541 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 20: so much is that, you know, nurses go through so 1542 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,800 Speaker 20: much schooling, so much training to do the amazing things 1543 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 20: that they do, but what Harper has can't be taught. 1544 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 20: So it's really special to see her with Olivia. 1545 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 1: And then the last question I have for you guys, 1546 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 1: And this will be an overwhelming day because you get 1547 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 1: to talk to everybody about this over and over again, 1548 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 1: and I'm so glad it's a good story and a 1549 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 1: happy ending. But the hospital Luria Children, they sort of 1550 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: they embraced the whole family, right, siblings and parents and all. 1551 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 1: That tell me a little bit about that process, because 1552 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 1: I don't think people think about that. You know, Olivia 1553 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 1: gets sick and she's got a sibling, and you guys 1554 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 1: have jobs and there's a lot that's going on. You know, 1555 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,479 Speaker 1: how do they sort of make it work for everybody? 1556 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,679 Speaker 20: Yeah, so Sophia loves coming with us. She calls Lurie 1557 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 20: children's vacation there. 1558 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 1: Well, I mean that really says something honest that you're 1559 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 1: going to a hospital. 1560 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 20: Homes and floor twelve always has events and characters and 1561 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 20: things happening.

I don't think people think about all the logistics 1566 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,840 Speaker 1: that come into this and the expense. And I mean 1567 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,439 Speaker 1: here you are trying to have the energy and uh, 1568 01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, to keep her alive.

But it's like 1678 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 1: he knows that people who go up to and give 1679 01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,120 Speaker 1: attention to.

Let me see, 1687 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,919 Speaker 1: we got Marshall. We're talking about you. Remember Marshall last year, Marshall, 1688 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 1: he big timed this in a lot of ways. And 1689 01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 1: this dude was weighing on a heart. He got the heart, 1690 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,760 Speaker 1: and he cruised by like any other kid, and I 1691 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 1: didn't even realize, like he's grown so much in his color. Yeah, 1692 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,680 Speaker 1: he looks amazing. Yeah, I mean, it's like he's a 1693 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 1: new kid. And it's just it's crazy for me to 1694 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,320 Speaker 1: wrap my brain around the fact that they what they're 1695 01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 1: able to do here and put a new heart in 1696 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: him and give him an entire life. And I hope 1697 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,000 Speaker 1: that that's not something that as a parent you ever 1698 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 1: have to endure. But if you do, and you can 1699 01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 1: hear me right now, then this is the place that 1700 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: you would want to come to do that. And it's 1701 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,760 Speaker 1: not just hearts. They you know, cancer and so many 1702 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,639 Speaker 1: other different things that they treat here at a world 1703 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,639 Speaker 1: class level. And so I want to also shout out Marie, 1704 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 1: who's stopped by, who's whose son is potentially awaiting a 1705 01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,360 Speaker 1: heart transplant. It's possible and they're dealing with that right now, 1706 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,240 Speaker 1: but she wanted to come by and say hi and 1707 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 1: h and said that she listens each morning and so 1708 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 1: obviously wishing her the best, but you know, it's just 1709 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:24,880 Speaker 1: another example of and I said to her, I said, 1710 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 1: look at look at Marshall. Who was you know walking 1711 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 1: around him like that?

That's that's a really important thing for them 1723 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,120 Speaker 1: here at Lari Children's Hospital is the consistency of the donation, 1724 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,600 Speaker 1: which is why twenty bucks a month makes you a 1725 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 1: monthly partner, which is just sixty seven cents a day. 1726 01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 1: And again I don't say that flippantly like it's not 1727 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 1: a lot of money or it's not a big deal. 1728 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,599 Speaker 1: I think there are people who have been donating this morning. 1729 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 1: Who twenty bucks means a lot, but they also know 1730 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,840 Speaker 1: that it means lots of these families, and so that 1731 01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 1: would be amazing if you could do that. I don't 1732 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,439 Speaker 1: know what Aaron look alive, buddy, look alike.
