I wouldn't I'd be able 46 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: to say there wouldn't be one team in the NTFL 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 3: that doesn't have some kind of connection to it. And 48 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: I just think It's like it's one of those things 49 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: it's really important to support them because you know this lady, 50 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: because she didn't tell anybody who she didn't want to, 51 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: no one was there to do it other than the 52 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: mcgrah nurses. And that's why the Pink Round is so important. 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: One of our long standing members, I think he's been 54 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: Wanderers for so many years.

Yeah, and every 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: single person going through their journey says that. 59 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 60 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: So he In the last two years we've raised thirty 61 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 3: thousand dollars.
