00:00 I hope to be able to have more Australians, Aussies, on the bone marrow registry.
00:15 Currently there's a little over 100,000 on our bone marrow registry and I think we can
00:20 do better.
00:21 And I know we can because Aussies are generous people.
00:24 Of the 5 million that are eligible to be on that register.
00:28 I mean you might never be called up to save a life like that but if you are, wow, what
00:35 an opportunity.
00:36 Great, thank you.
00:37 Can I help you?
00:38 Hi Julie.
00:39 Small cappuccino.
00:40 Small cappuccino.
00:41 Oh, it was wonderful.
00:42 I think the big thing is that it was childhood cancer parents that led the nomination efforts.
01:03 It's special that Jason Satoris of Super T, we were both in Westmead together when our
01:11 girls were sick.
01:12 And so it's like two fathers have come out and worked together to advance the cause.
01:18 So it's very special to be nominated by him.
