00:00Yeah, so we just completed our 2024 Red Fit Melanoma Marathon here.
00:14The team here, we've done an amazing effort and the guys have really got behind the event.
00:18It's been our biggest year by far. It's the first time we've been able to achieve our goal which is
00:24six bike ergs running for 24 hours. There was not one time where they stopped apart
00:29from a changeover. So that's an amazing effort by the team and the guys here at
00:34Red Fit and everyone that got around it. So really, really proud of the effort.
00:45The last time I checked, we were ticking that $2,000 raise which is pretty cool.
00:49So I set a goal of trying to achieve anywhere from kind of $2,500 to $3,000.
00:53So I think we're on target to do that, which is really exciting. But for me,
00:57first and foremost, this is about just creating awareness around getting a skin check. And if by
01:02us sitting on a bike for 24 hours starts that one conversation, then that's our first goal
01:07achieved. And then the money raised is just a bonus and a little bit on top, which is cool.
