00:00 Becky off the radio, I was like right, okay.
00:02 And once the evening was very much about women,
00:06 which was fantastic, the president who was speaking
00:08 at that dinner was really sort of flying the flag
00:12 for females, and then Becky came on and spoke
00:15 so honestly and emotionally, and I think everybody
00:20 in the room was hooked, and then she flew around the room
00:24 at 100 miles an hour, selling raffle tickets,
00:27 raising money, fundraising, for all the wonderful things
00:30 that you do in the charity, and I think we just realized
00:33 that hang on, there's something that we can do here.
00:36 My team is 90% female, I have a personal connection
00:41 to breast cancer, so for me, having a further meeting
00:45 and follow up with Becky to be involved with this
00:48 was a bit of a no-brainer, really.
00:50 It just was something that I felt I needed to do.
00:52 - No, it's super, super grateful, and from the moment
00:56 I met you guys, they just, mom, they made me feel
00:59 so welcome, you know, and everyone took my number,
01:02 and then we were back in touch, and I went and had dinner
01:05 with Lucy and Natalie.
