Well, Caitlin, can you just tell me about the competition you was taking part in and how you did place?
00:04
So, I went to Malta in the World Championships and I got a gold in my adapted kata,
00:11
which is where autistic people and disability people do the katas and obviously whoever wins, wins.
00:19
I got gold there and I did kumite, which is my fighting, and I came second in that one.
00:27
And how did Herdman Chemists support you when you crossed that?
00:31
Well, the help with flights, accommodations, the equipment.
00:36
So, if they didn't help us, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today.
00:43
And why were the chemists so keen to get involved in supporting Caitlin?
00:47
So, for us, since we basically took over, our main initiative has been to do at least one project a year,
00:54
a way to give back to the community. So, the whole reason we wanted to support Caitlin is we've seen the posts come on Facebook.
01:00
Obviously, I've known Caitlin's family for about, since I've been here, since 2020.
01:05
They've been regular customers in the pharmacy. So, we took over in 2023, so obviously when I seen that post,
01:10
I just thought, you know what, what better way to give back to the community than someone internally,
01:14
that obviously we already take care of the meds, etc.
