1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jum Mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: Last night on the Project, my mate Carrie Bigmore launched

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: a brain cancer center. This is extraordinary. The brain cancer

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: Center that was founded by her Beanies for brain Cancer

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: in partnership with Walter and Eliza Hall, who found a

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: whole lot of great medical research around the world. This

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: center will be well renowned a research institute. It will

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: work as a collaborative initiative to end brain cancer as

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: a terminal illness. How extraordinary, forty million dollars has been

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: secured in funding through Beanie sales, through grants and collaborations

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: with research institutes and the Brain Cancer Mission. It's just

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: I'm just so incredibly proud of her. This is extraordinary.

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: And I know that Tom Gleeson said that logis don't

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: mean anything and the logis are stupid and shallow, and

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: the night is just really a waste of time. But

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: have a listened to what was launched from that platform.

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: It makes me weeping. This was one of the most

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: carry on the Gold LOGI. This was one of the

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: most important TV moments ever.

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about brain cancer. I

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: want to say to you that every five hours in Australia,

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: someone dies from brain cancer. Sorry, every five hours someone

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: is diagnosed with brain cancer, and eight out of ten

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: people who are diagnosed will die from brain cancer. Everyone

25
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: thinks it's this rare form of cancer. It is not.

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: It kills more people under forty and that's a lot

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: of you in this room, more people under forty than

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: any other cancer. It kills more kids than any other disease.

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: In twenty ten, my husband Greg was one of the

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: unlucky ones and after a long, long, long, long battle,

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: he died from brain cancer. Over ten years, I watched

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: him suffer multiple sieges a day, lose feeling down one

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: side of his body, have his little three year old

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: have to push him around in a wheelchair because he

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 1: couldn't walk anymore. He was an incredibly brave man, great dad,

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: he was a great husband, he was a great brother,

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: and he was a great friend. But he shouldn't have

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: had to go through that, and no one should have

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: to go through that, And that's why I want to

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: raise awareness about it tonight. Throughout his cancer journey, he

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: used to wear a lot of hats, and he used

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: to wear a lot of beanies, and that was because

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: he felt embarrassed about his scars and his head and

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I used to say to him, don't be embarrassed. Scars

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: are really really cool, and I said, and beanies are

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: also really cool. And I want to ask I want

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: to ask anybody that's on TV in Australia tomorrow to

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: whack on a beanie. I want to get the nation

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: talking about brain cancer. It receives next to no funding,

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: which is ludicrous because without funding, more people are going

51
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: to die. And as I just said, eight out of

52
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: ten people who were diagnosed will die from the disease.

53
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: So and you know, I know that people watch TV

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: and they think we're just faces who you know, get

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: to spend hours and hair and makeup and have these

56
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: really awesome jobs. But we also have our own stories

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: and our own challenges, and for me, work has been

58
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: an incredible escape. And I want to dedicate this award

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: tonight to anyone that is going through a real time

60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: right now, anyone that's supporting someone through a really tough

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: time right now. Please believe that there will be a

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: flight a day for you. Please believe that's a big moment.

63
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: That's where it started. In twenty fifteen. Spaneous extraordinary, She

64
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: donned the blue beanie. Therefore that began Carries Beanies for

65
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: brain Cancer, And here she was last night announcing the

66
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: launch of the Brain Cancer Center. Carry Amazing and you're

67
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: still buy the beanies. More information go to the Brain
