00:00 I said from the very start that out of this horrible tragedy, we must make something good

00:05 come from this.

00:06 And that was the ultimate force behind the foundation, that although we've been heartbroken

00:12 and we will be heartbroken, we have to ensure that we can make something good come from

00:17 this and we've used the foundation as a platform to hopefully in the future better the causes

00:23 that Grace supported and the things that meant a lot to her.

00:27 The things that mean a lot to her mean a lot to me and mean a lot to my mum and my dad.

00:33 Still very raw, the whole thing, obviously, but I think it's just day by day, step by

00:39 step at the moment.

00:41 My priority as her younger brother is just to ensure that her legacy lives on because

00:46 I've said to mum and dad that we have a massive hole in our lives that will never be filled

00:51 but all we can do now is ensure that her legacy does live on because that's the most important

00:56 thing and I think that's the least I can do as her younger brother because she was such

01:02 a good older sister to me.
