1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: It's head across and catch up with with Trent. Do

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: with in Catherine. Good morning, Trent.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: Okay, long time.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: How are you good mate? How are you good?

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Thanks? Trucking a long trucking a lot down here.

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: Oh wonderful. Now I understand you're doing something. Well, it

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: sounds slightly crazy. You're swimming sixteen kilometers. When are you

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: doing this?

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a stage thing. So I'm doing

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: especially a kilometer a day for sixteen days for Starlight

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: Children's Foundation, for a worthy cause.

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Now this is wonderful. So sixteen so a kilometer a day.

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: That is much more attainable. Trent. I was thinking, you're

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: going to swim sixteen k's in one go and I thought,

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: goodness me, mate, that's going to.

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: Be a slot.

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Rather be in a boach than swimming that far. Trent,

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: tell me why you've decided to do this.

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: So it's a super swim thing organized by the Starlight

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: Children's Foundation. And that's for me. That's a cause that's

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: pretty close to my heart because I have seen what

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: they do personally with my little girl and stuff in

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: the hospital. You know, they bring so much joy to

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: kids who are struggling and hospitals are a scary place,

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: and they just make it a lot more easy for

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: the kids to relate to people and things like that,

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: and a few toys and that. So yeah, it's a

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: great cause and I'm trying to raise five thousand bucks

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: for it. I think I'm up to about two and

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: a half grand, so I've got a little bit more

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: to go. But it is only day two. I knocked

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: out a cana half this morning, so we're getting there slowly.

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Good on you, mate, That is awesome. Now talk me through, like,

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: how are you going? How long has it been since

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: you got in the water and swim a kilometer? I

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: know you've done one now in the last day, but

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: how long had it been?

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: So the last time I did it was the Catherine

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Ultra Challenge. I got roped into swimming. It was three

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: point two kilometers back when it used to be a

41
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 2: little bit longer. I got roped into doing that probably

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: six years ago now, and now Katie, I'm a one

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: hundred and ten kilos. I'm a front roller. When I

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: was playing footage, so I think I don't swim, so

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: back then I had to sort of trade myself to swim,

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: and so that was the last time I did it, Yeah,

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: about six years ago. And I pulled my goggles out

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: the other day and the bloody strap snapped on the things.

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: It's been that long. It's a bit of a tough battle.

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: That's why I thought it was a worthy cause because

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: I'm swimming. You know, if you're not a swimmer, it's

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: a hard thing to do. So sixteen k is going

53
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: to knock me up, So it is.

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: It is very hard. Very important question though, Trent. You're

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: doing it without flippers?

56
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: I hope absolutely, no flippers, no boy, and see none

57
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: of that. I've got plenty of flubber to keep me

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: soloat it's more than propelling going forward that I struggle with.

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh, good on you mate. Now tell me a little

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: bit about your little girl.

61
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So when she was about I think she was

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: eight or nine months old, we just noticed when she

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: was crawling that she was favoring one hand and it

64
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't she wouldn't put any weight on it. When we

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: put her in the car seat, she was crying and

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: wincing a bit, and we went up to the hospital

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: and sort of, you know, the guys at the hospital

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: up here are so good within I don't know. It

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: was about forty five minutes to an hour. There's a

70
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: care flight on the way, and she's on her way

71
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: to darl And. Then there's some I can't pronounce what

72
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: it is, but there's something in the an infection that

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: gets into their bones, and so she had to be

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: flowing to darl And and she spent sort of three weeks

75
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: up there in the hospital on antibiotics and all that

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: sort of stuff, and my wife spent most of the

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: time up there with her. But the Starlight Children's Foundation

78
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: would come and see her almost daily and give her

79
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: little toys and just entertain her, and she absolutely loved them.

80
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: And the other thing on that as well. It's been

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: a personal thing with the little girl, but also Chris

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: Willow Wilson, he was always pestering me all the time

83
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: for donations for children's foundations for the auction ball. Yeah,

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: so it's always been something that I've been involved in. So, yeah,

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: it's a really good cause and something that I've seen

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: firsthand what they actually do.

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: What a beautiful thing to do. What's your little girl's name,

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: ayala Ayla? I bet she is just gorgeous And you

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: know that first hand. Experience of you know, what you've

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: gone through and what your family's gone through, and knowing

91
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: what a phenomenal job they do, I think is you know,

92
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: it's a real example of why that money does need

93
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: to be raised. But then you know, as you've touched

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: on there, you mate Willow and the work that he

95
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: used to do, and you know, supporting the Starlight Foundation,

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: I think that they're both such beautiful reasons for you

97
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: to do this.

98
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, we've got to carry on the mantle for

99
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: the big follow And actually I slipped up the door

100
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: and you said, actually I had to do my first

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: swim at Pratt Pool yesterday because it was the first

102
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: of the month. So I was in Dar and I

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: actually did my first one up there. But as I

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: was driving into Dar and a Tiger Brennan, I looked

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: over on the right there and here's that massive grader

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: all done up in the Starlight Children's Foundation from Willows

107
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: that he's painted in the whole Starlight Children's Foundation. So

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: if you're cruising along and you see that over there,

109
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: it's a pretty cool thing.

110
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: That's beautiful, mate, that's a really what a nice thing

111
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: to do, and what a nice thing to say now

112
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: tell me if there is anybody listening this morning who

113
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: wants to donate to your very worthy cause and very

114
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: worthy fundraising efforts, where can they go?

115
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: So the easiest thing will probably be to jump on

116
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: the Roden Rifle Facebook page and you'll see my ugly mug.

117
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: They're doing a video on me on the actual swim

118
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: and there's a link underneath that which will take you

119
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: directly to my page where you'll be able to donate there.

120
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: And the choice is less. You can donate a dollar

121
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: if you want, It doesn't matter. Absolutely anything will help.

122
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: A lot of people sort of won't realize. You know,

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: the Starlight Foundation and what it does, but you won't

124
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: realize it until you need it, until you use it,

125
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: and then you'll go, jeez, that's a really worthy thing.

126
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: Because the hospital is a scary place for a kid,

127
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: but they just make it that little bit easier.

128
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you spot on trend to. I sometimes jump into

129
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: the barrapool and swimm kilometer as well, generally while my

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: children are doing laps in the squad. If I see

131
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: you there, well I won't put my flippers on next

132
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: to you because I feel embarrassed while you're swimming without

133
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: yours on.

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Well, you'll know it's me, Katie, because I'm pretty sure

135
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: I go like a hurricane down there, splashing and all

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: sorts of things. Most people think I'm drowning half the time.

137
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I reckon, So do not resuscitate you, do not try

138
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: to pull you out.

139
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm not drowning. Don't train me the life ring. I think.

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Your aleegend vay. Good on you. I think it's fantastic

141
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing. And as you've seen, people can jump

142
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: on the Roden Rifle Facebook page and find out a

143
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: little bit more if they want to make a donation.

144
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: It is such a worthy cause. Good on your Trent.

145
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Katie, cheers for the thanks.

146
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: Mate. Good to talk to you.
