00:00 Yeah, so Bucks events a charity event that we're organizing here at Wodonga Raiders in line with Kerry Pickmore's
00:06 Beans for Brain Cancer Foundation. The day's really about bringing the community together to honor Ben, to celebrate his life and
00:13 to really just raise some awareness around brain cancer and its research and
00:19 Yeah, have a good fundraising event at night at the club rooms
00:25 And yeah, have a footy match dedicated to him against Myrtleford, which I think will be an absolute cracker
00:31 Yeah, and do you want to tell us a little bit about the significance of it coming against Myrtleford?
00:36 Yeah, so back in 2010 Ben played in a third grand final against Myrtleford, which they
00:43 Thankfully got up for so hopefully we have a repeat of that this weekend
00:48 But that's the significance around the game is yeah
00:51 The fact that the last game Ben played footy for Wodonga Raiders was against Myrtleford, so
00:56 And it's obviously about raising funds and awareness for brain cancer
01:01 But also a bit of a tribute to Ben and the person he was as well and celebrating his life
01:06 Do you want to tell us a little bit about what Ben was like and I guess how special the day will be for
01:12 You and your family in the club? Yeah, Ben was just an absolute ripper like such a good big brother such a motivated driven person
