00:00I don't know how I feel to be honest. I think just completely overwhelmed.
00:03I think like raising the money is one thing but already in my head I know how we're going to
00:09spend it and that's the bit that just makes me unbelievably happy. So yeah I think just
00:18incredibly humbled and very very grateful for the fact that everybody has shown up for us
00:24this evening and shown up for the children of Yorkshire. I pinch myself all the time in terms
00:29of the level of support that we have. Like we're not even three years old as a charity. To think
00:34of the people and the brands that have joined us on this journey is yeah I constantly question why?
00:41Why us? Why support Yorkshire Children's Charity? And yeah it's just incredibly humbling. That's
00:49all I can say. The fact that people are willing to give so generously. The fact our amazing sponsors
00:55come on board with us time and time again and back these crazy ideas that we have to raise a
01:00phenomenal amount of money. But you know I really passionately believe tonight that we had to shoot
01:07for the stars. We are in the middle of a cost of living crisis and I know the absolute onslaught
01:14of what we are going to get between now and February, March next year. I know that I will
01:19be up at all hours of the night ordering warm clothing for children because parents are
01:25absolutely despairing because they have nothing and just to think now that we have the means to
01:29be able to do that is the best feeling in the world. I think just to everyone who's involved
01:38just a massive thank you and I am so proud of our supporters. I'm so proud of my team
01:47and my trustees and nothing I say. No amount of thank yous can thank everybody enough
01:54for what they have done this evening so just thank you.
