00:00Just sitting here in awe of your courage to be here this morning to reflect on what happened

00:07last summer, I know that you would have been changed and become a very different person

00:14because of what happened to you. And I know that it's vital to you that you find something that

00:21helps you get something out of the trauma and the tragedy that means that you could in the future

00:29perhaps save lives. And that's what this campaign is all about isn't it? Yeah, evil will not win.

00:35There has to be something that comes out of this. There has to be change to be made. This cannot happen

00:41to the families it happened to and we just sit back and do nothing about it. I will not let that

00:45happen. The knife in this attack was a kitchen knife bought online. The whole point is, ironically,

00:53the whole purpose of the campaign is to say to people, you can change your kitchen knife and there

01:04will be an exponential benefit to the whole of society if you do that. Yeah, that's what you want

01:12to tell people.
