Well, I got a bit of a shock. I got a letter through the post to first advise and I had no
00:05
idea it was coming, obviously. So it was a bit surreal, I must admit. I was hoping this year
00:13
was going to be a big year for me in terms of fundraising and awareness, driving and creating
00:17
memories. But well, boy, this surpassed any kind of expectation I might have had. I mean,
00:23
yeah, it was truly awesome. I was, I think I probably, I don't cry very often, but I think
00:29
I may have shed a little emotional tear actually at the time as well, because I was a bit
00:34
overwhelmed. But yeah, it was amazing. It's very hard to put into words because it's not
00:38
something I've ever set out to achieve. I set out to try and raise awareness and funds linked
00:45
to prostate cancer in the hope that I could stop other men and their families going through
00:50
the same journey that we're going through. And that was always the aim. So to get recognised
00:56
for that, I don't know, because I'm just doing what I really want to do anyway, and
01:03
just hoping to make a difference. But yes, it does feel very special. But it's down to
01:10
a lot of, it's also down to the help of a lot of other people as well. So I guess I always,
01:15
I'm kind of the focal point, but there's always a lot of people helping.
