Speaker 4: Officially it starts on Saturday.

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: Saturday, there was another day off that.

18
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 4: These are the events that are just leading up to

19
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 4: the big day.

20
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: It sounds like there's a lot happening, and it sounds

21
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: like the Hash House Harriers are a very fun running

22
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: group to get involved in.

23
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 3: Firstly, tell me about them.

24
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: Well, Katie, it's a group of people who like minded people.

25
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: We have a bit of a job or a walk

26
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: and then we have some food afterwards, a social chat,

27
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 4: you know, maybe a cold beverage it's just a good atmosphere.

28
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: I've seen them go past my place and they seem

29
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: to be having a lot.

30
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Of fun, having a really fun chat while they're running,

31
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, I must be running too hard

32
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: because I can't talk that much.

33
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: While I'm jogging.

34
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do have some fun.

35
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: Now, the Red Dress Run is getting underway. The money

36
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: that's being raised is going to go towards Sabrina's Reach

37
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: for Life now, Lydia, you and I have spoken on

38
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: numerous occasions about about Sabrina's Reach for Life and the

39
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: phenomenal work that you do. How important is it that

40
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: an event like this one does help to raise funds?

41
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Katie, Well, it's fantastic on a few fronts because

42
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: we're actually not organizing the event this time, and it

43
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: does take a lot of effort. And you know, I

44
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: really want to thank Greg and Cheryl who are in

45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: charge of the Red Restaurant Committee, and Jason's on that

46
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: committee as well, So they've chosen our local charity and

47
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: they have raised fun for us previously as well. And

48
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: it's important because it's creating an awareness with the connection

49
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: of raising funds for Sabrina's Reach and as you know,

50
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: and we've spoken before. We are focused on systemic advocacy

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: and providing support for people who suffer from mental distress

52
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: or suicidal ideations or being bereaved by suicide. And we

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: recently actually won an award. I was in Campbell last

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: week and we won a life award for the work

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: that we do in the territory. We were the only recipients.

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: So it does mean a lot. Any funds raised go

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: towards our course. But more importantly, something tangible it will

58
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: go towards is supporting the scholarship that we fund at

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: Charles Dalen University. So I'm interviewing people tomorrow for our

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: third sort of iteration of the scholarship that will support

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: a student studying psychology at Charles Dale University.

62
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: So very very excited about that.

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: It is wonderful and you know what that awards so

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: very deserving. The work that you have done is incredible

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: and I say that every time that you come in.

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: But you should be so proud of the work that

67
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: you do and the work that you've done in Sabrina's name.

68
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a phenomenal thing. Now this red dress

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: run Lydia, You've got your red dress on Now you're

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: ready to go.

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: That's made us a role with Sabrina's loyo on it,

72
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: which is fantastic. So I understand that all the people,

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: the four hundred people running or walking at four o'clock

74
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 2: today from the priesting down to the ski club will

75
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: be wearing the sarong in some shape or form.

76
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 3: Goodness, mate, who knows how they're going to be wearing.

77
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: Jason, So it's pretty appropriate.

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: It really is. Now tell us because there's going to

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: be people thinking.

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: What do you mean a red dress run house is

81
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: all going to work? Yeah?

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: Well it's women blokes. We all dress up in a

83
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: red dress and go from one place to another. Yeah,

84
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: and have a jog or a laugh chat. There's going

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: to be about four hundred of us, so it's pretty

86
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: pretty substantial amount.

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: Of it is.

88
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a huge number of people. Now sneakers or heels.

89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: For me personally, it'll be definitely sneakers because I've got

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: the big run to do on Saturday.

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: So there's all these other events kind of leading up

92
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: to Saturday's run. So talk us through exactly what happens

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: on Saturday.

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: Then, yeah, well Saturday, it's a whole lot of different

95
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: runs and walks now you can go on so depending

96
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: on your ability. There's some short walks for people who

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: are getting on in years, and then there's all the

98
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: way there's a four k and eight k at twelve k,

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: and then there's also the ball Breaker run, which is

100
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: potentially you know, up to twenty five kilometers and it'll

101
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: be taking in all the scenic sights of Darwin and

102
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure every hill in Darwin.

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 3: I definitely couldn't wear my heels for that.

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm training for a marathon right now and I've hardly

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: got toenails left, so.

106
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: That would be more than a ball breaker.

107
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

108
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: I just reckon. This is awesome.

109
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I think it sounds like it's a phenomenal event. People

110
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: coming from all over.

111
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: The world, all over the world, yep, yep. So this

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: is our national event. It's held every couple of years

113
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: and because COVID, we didn't have one a few years back,

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: so it's been a while and we attract people from

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: all over the world, like minded harriers. It's just such

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 4: a good event.

117
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: And it is a cause that's dear to the hearts

118
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: of the harriers here.

119
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: In Darwin as well. Isn't it.

120
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, we've lost a couple of members over the years.

121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: You know. It's so it's just our way of getting

122
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: getting involved in a cause. You know, it's it's such

123
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: a good worthwhile cause they do some great work. We're

124
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: just happy to be associated with Sabrinas absolutely.

125
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: How much money do you reckon you guys will raise?

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 4: Well, we were aiming at around about fifteen thousand Wow dollars,

127
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: but the registrations have gone up since we sort of

128
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: made that prediction, so hopefully it's a little bit more.

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: How wonderful.

130
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: You know. How much does that kind of money mean

131
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: to Sabrina's reach for life?

132
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: Lidia, it means a lot.

133
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: So just the scholarship alone, it's a five thousand dollar

134
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: commitment on our part for a student each year. So

135
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: if it is fifteen, but I'm pretty sure it's going

136
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: to be more than that. That's going to help us

137
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: fund a student for three years wow, who is studying psychology.

138
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: And the aim is, you know, it's our way of

139
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: giving back to community to have more people, professional people

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: that can be accessible for people who are in distress

141
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: and need support and professional help. So it's just a

142
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: small way of us contributing in that way.

143
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: It is a really wonderful thing to do.

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Now, if there is anybody out there listening this morning

145
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that he is going through a tough time, I know

146
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: that there are a few different different places that they

147
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: can go to to get that support. But they can

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: certainly go to Sabrina's Reach for Life website as well,

149
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: can't they?

150
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: Yes, they can, And you know, we're not a crisis

151
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: sort of service, but yeah, Lifeline or Beyond Blue are

152
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: the usual numbers that people should should call. Yeah, but yeah,

153
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: if anyone wants to have a chat, We're more than available, yeah,

154
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: to have a chat to people if they wish to

155
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: do so. But I just want to give another plug too.

156
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: There's a lot of local businesses that are actually supporting

157
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: this event today as well, too many to name, I think, jasonoluately.

158
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: Look, we've had a massive amount of support from local businesses,

159
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,480
