23
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's you know. I guess everyone gets so

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: busy these days it's hard to find time to go fishing,

25
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: so you know, there's some of our cherished memories going

26
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: out in the water and spending time with the kids.

27
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,959

28
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: to do without com give me a good excuse just

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,920

30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,920

97
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: money are you hoping to raise this year?

98
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: Look, for us, it's already about the final tota. We're

99
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: just happy, Like editing last couple of years, we've raised

100
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: over one hundred thousand. This year it's just about you know,

101
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: everyone just more given back to the teams, giving back

102
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: to the family. So you know, anything over fifty thousand

103
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: massive really for us.

104
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's incredible, absolutely incredible. Now, which, like, which charities

105
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: are the funds going to?

106
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: So we've did a couple of different charities last year,

107
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: so we've got a charity foundation brain cancer research, and

108
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: we also donated quite a bit of money to a

109
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: lot of local families that were needed. Unfortunately had to

110
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: go through the same thing that Maxie went through, and

111
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: you know, we know where the financial hardships are when

112
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: you get this sort of diagnosis. So you know, we're

113
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: trying to do as much as we can to give

114
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: back to the territory community as well.

115
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a beautiful to do and you know it'll

116
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: be like I can only imagine how hard to be

117
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: for you guys often, you know, daily, and and then

118
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: to go out and help other families in the way

119
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: that you do. I think it's just such an admirable

120
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: thing to do, and to help them at a time

121
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: that you know that you guys know all too well

122
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: how difficult it is.

123
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's all about paying it for it.

124
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: I guess the amount of you know, support WeGo when

125
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: we had to go through it just blew us away

126
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: and it really does open your eyes how great a

127
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: community the territory is. Everyone that's got behind us mixed

Speaker 1: like what I you know, my help has been very

134
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: very minimal, and I know that a lot of people

135
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,440
