00:49 and understand what success looks like this time because this is number four for us. The

00:53 awareness is great and the fundraising is enormous because we know that's the thing

00:58 that's going to shift the dial and get us a cure. But ultimately it's how you make people

01:03 feel as well and I think that would be a big message from Doddy and certainly would be

01:06 from Rob. We make people care a little bit more about each other than we are in a far
