00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: You know what like about a radio station, is you

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: get something a person like Mark who comes to us

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: and says, oh, look, I'm putting this car show on.

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: I want to raise some money for this young lady, Karina,

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: who's got five kids.

7
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: She's got MS.

8
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: She's raised money for the Westpac helicopter in the past.

9
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: She's got this MS. She needs to get some stem

10
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: cell treatment.

11
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the stem cell treatment we've heard won't save

12
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: her life, but it will improve the quality of her life.

13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: And yes, so there's a cars for a Careina. It's

14
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: called This is how it all started. He drew attention

15
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: to this Morris at Showground August eleven. Ten dollar entry.

16
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 3: That's all it is, and that money will go to her.

17
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: That's where it started. And then we thought we'd chat

18
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: to her husband to see what life's like. She's got

19
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: five kids under the age of ten. Somedays she can't

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: get out of bed, and it is her older children,

21
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: the oldest who's ten, to look after the baby. She

22
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: was diagnosed not long after the baby was born, so

23
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: it's been really hard.

24
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: And they need to get eighty thousand.

25
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: Since we started talking about this with the GoFundMe call

26
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: at yesterday.

27
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: We've raised FO one thousand dollars since yesterday, so that's good.

28
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, you and I have chipped in, as have so

29
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: many people. Thank you for your generosity.

30
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Put in whatever you wanted. But if you put a

31
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: daily coffee, even five bucks, it doesn't matter.

32
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: It all adds up. Well, we thought we'd get in

33
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: touch with Danny. He's worked at Westpac Helicopter for seven years.

34
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: He's been the person who has worked, I guess to

35
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: receive the incredible funds that Karna has raised over the years.

36
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: Hello Danny, good morning team. How are we.

37
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: We're very well.

38
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: Tell us how you first met Karna.

39
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: That was just a very fortunate phone call. The family

40
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 4: were putting on an event based on their passion of

41
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: V dubs and they said we want to raise and

42
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 4: donate the money to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. That was

43
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, and I just was blown away by

44
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: just to such a young family so passionate about their

45
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: hobby and their interest of cars, and they pulled together

46
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: an amazing event which raised a few dollars. And then

47
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: within less than twelve months, I was getting a phone

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: call from Karna and both to let me know they

49
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: actually were out on the lake and there was a

50
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: bit of a skiing accident where the rescue helicopter actually

51
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: got called and had to airlift Karna back to the

52
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: John Hunter Hospital. And from that moment, it's sort of,

53
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: I guess for them galvanized why they were raising money

54
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: for the rescue helicopter because they had that first hand experience,

55
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: and the relationship between myself and the family really sort

56
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: of got stronger and we continued to sort of work

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: together and building their vision of the car show. And

58
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: at the same time, Karina was diagnosed with MS and

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: I honestly and we had the conversation where we said, look,

60
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: you need to look after you and there was that

61
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: look of determination. Arise was no, I'm still not letting

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 4: this defeat me. I'm still going to continue to raise

63
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 4: money for the rescue helicopter, which I have continued to

64
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: do so. And then just last month they raise even

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: more money with the event being held in Torrential Ray

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: how much.

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: How much well Karina raised?

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: You reckon Daddy just under forty thousand dollars, Wow, which

69
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: is incredible. It's just and that's a lot of effort

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: and that's bringing together her community, a VDUB enthusiasts and

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: the broader community, which is just incredible to think that

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: Karina and her family have been able to do that

73
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: in light of what they're facing in their own personal

74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: scene behind the scenes. It's it's just remarkable and it

75
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: gives you goosebumps.

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, she sounds like a remarkable person.

77
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: So we're on the incredible and so if anything, if

78
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: we can get this thing up to forty thousand dollars,

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: which she's chipped in there, that'd be great, but also

80
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: just plugging the show. If you go along there, it's

81
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: ten dollar entry fee on the eleventh of Augus.

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: You just go on there, you pay you ten bucks

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: and you're going small compis.

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to also see what we can do
