36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: go off, There's no doubt about that. Lincoln. You know,

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: tell us the first year that you held Max's cars

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: for a cure, could you have ever anticipated just how

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: generous the community would be and just how much the

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: community would embrace this event.

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: No, we were actually blown away. Everyone was blown away.

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: Like it was just an idea that my wife Naomi

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: sort of came up with an honor of Max, and

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: you know, we only had a couple of people helping

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: us at that stage, and it just grew and grew,

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: and so many people reached out to us, and you know,

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: it is amazing how generous everyone is. You know, even

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 2: this year, it's even bigger again like we thought last

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: year was, and people have opened up again and you know,

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: come on board again this year even more so.

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, the whole reason behind this

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: is one of so much love, the love that you

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: and Naomi have for little Max and his love of

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: fishing as well. So it is just it's such an

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: incredible event and something that is that I think really

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: just touches the heart of the community.

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, And I mean, I guess the big

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: underlaying messages, you know, funding for brain cancer research and

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: there's just nothing out there at the moment. It really

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: needs to help. And this year, you know, we really

61
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: want to We've seen territory families as well, you know,

62
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: struggling with the same thing that we went through a

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: few years ago, so we really want to reach out

64
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: to those people and help them as well. We've already

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: sort of helped a couple of territory families and this

66
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: is going to allow us to do even more so

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: going forward.

68
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: That's you know, again, that is something that I think

69
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: such a phenomenal thing that you know that you and

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Naomi and the crew that are organizing Max's Cast for

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: a Cure do, is that you know, you guys know

72
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: how tough it was going through that journey yourselves, and

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: the fact that then you're you're out there trying to

74
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: help other families that are going through a similar journey.

75
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: And I know even this year, we've you know, we've

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: spoken to a grandma who's whose little granddaughter is going

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: through a really tough time and and has brain a

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: brain tumor, and like, I just think that it's it

79
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: is incredible what you guys do, but to try and

80
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: help other people that are in a really difficult spot.

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I mean that's what we want to aim

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: to do this year. That's you know, we've had some

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: great committee members to come on board and help us

84
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: this year, and we've all got together and so you know,

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: this is this is why we want to move forward

86
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: with with our funding. A lot of people. You know,

87
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: there's travels interstate for family members and you know all

88
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: the rising cost of living that you know, usually one

89
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: of the parents have to basically not work to be

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: able to care for the kids. So there is a

91
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: lot of need for some funding for these families.

92
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: So Lincoln, talk us through with the money that you raise,

93
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: what's it, how's it going to work, what's it going

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: to go towards?

95
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: So we're going to do some towards brain cancer research

96
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: as a couple of different people. The Joriti Tar Foundation

97
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: is definitely one where we're very close to who do

98
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: some amazing work. And then we're sort of just going

99
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: to reach out to families in need. I think the
