  Speaker 2: here today looking absolutely stunning in your pink T shirts.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But there is a reason that you're jumping out of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a playing so tell us.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: What there is.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I had found a dimple in the top of one
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: of my breasts when I was actually on an a
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: holiday in Spain, cycling around Spain. I was in a
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: very well lit bathroom, probably wouldn't have spotted it at home,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: and sort of leant forward to brush my teeth and
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: spotted that the top of one breast was dimpling different
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: to the other. So when I got back, I went
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: to my doctor and asked for a mammogram, went for
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the mammogram, and when I went back the week later
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: for the results, they said they'd already booked me in
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: for a mastectomy, so to remove one breast because the
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: tumor was so large they couldn't do a lumpecto me.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: And then just in November just gone for risk reduction
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: because my risk of developing cancer again was quite high.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: They removed the other breast and did double reconstruction from
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: my stomach. He asked me to put a stone on,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: so I had a bit more goodly and turned.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I took a big chunk out of my stomach and
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: turned it into two breasts. So I've got a whole
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: new body that I don't recognize.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, that's brilliant, And I think at this point
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it's important to talk about cancer. And as you say,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you discovered it almost by a mistake, and if you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: hadn't gone to Spain on that lovely sunny holiday, who
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: knows how long it would have been. I'm a great
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: advocate for a cancer UK's you know, Jay, I've been
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: around knocking around Race for Life for over twenty years.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But we used to do a thing called Man on
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the Run, which where it was just like men only
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and it was a bit embarrassing at first, but I
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: used to get up on stage in front of all
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: these men and say, guys, you've got to feel yourself.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: You've got to ob see if there's any lumps. Absolutely,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: But rather than go on about myself here, I want
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: to bring Adrian in now, because Adrian, are you also
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: a cancer survivor aren't you?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I am indeed yes.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Tell us about your story.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I was diagnosed. I wasn't feeling well for about
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: six months and I just didn't feel myself and I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: went to the They said, oh, no, you'll be it
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: seemed okay, he said, so we'll send you a test out.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: So they sent me a test out, sent it back
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and within a week I'd had an appointment straight away
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: up at Kent in Canterbury Hospital to have the the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: camera a shine yeah, And immediately after that came out,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: they told me I had bow cancer and they had
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to operate more or less straight away. So within I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of people moan about the NHS, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they were absolutely fantastic with me and within two weeks
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: three weeks I was in the hospital. I had it
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the tumor removed.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: And.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I've been recovering ever since. Really, I was lucky enough
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that it was only on stage two and it was removed.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you're okay, I'm all okay, And I would
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: say I'm fighting fit, But.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say you do lead very active life, Adrian,
• 10:08

• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the same as Jay, it does help, you know, giving
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: you fit. It just makes you feel the benefits of
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the mental health. But okay, so enough about that, So

  Speaker 2: That's why it just bluet.
• 12:22

• 12:39
  Speaker 7: and he kind of spins you around and they do
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: their kind of cool tricks. The instructors are really cool.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: They can kind of do backflips and a lot of
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: the cool stuff. We just kind of hover it there
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: and wait for something to happen. But no, it's a
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: lot of fun, and I'm really excited to jump out
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: of an actual one this time. Yeah, a bit scared,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: but I remember when my mum told me I was.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, something that you have to do
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: it bucket.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, yeah. It's good in effect
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that you're all doing it. You've all got each other
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to sort of lean on if one of them is
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit down and you know you've got
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: other three can cheer them up. So okay, so Oscar,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: you're turned. Do you feel about jumping out of the plane?
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: Amazing?
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: It was top of my bucket list for the last
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: twenty years, really, even since I realized you could do it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: It was absolutely something I wanted to do.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Have you sort of do you know any friends that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: have done it or any if you've got any experience
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: at all, So I'd be totally new, new to legally new.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I've not heard anyone from from my side
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: of the world doing it, so it we have really
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: good fun to document it, and especially if we're doing
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: it for such a good cause.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Right, excellent? Okay, So Janey coming to you now, you
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: seem to be the adventurer, the cause of all the
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: problems in this family, roping your children into things. Was
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: this something that the idea just came like a bolt
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: out of the blue, or did you think we've got
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to do something together? What can we do?
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: It's exactly that, keV. I felt like it's been, you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: a cancer journey and having had that last operation, that
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: now means that, you know, there's no chance of me
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: getting breast cancer again. That feels like kind of the
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: end of the journey. And I wanted something to market.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: It felt like it was appropriate to do something together
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: and to do something for breast cancer charity. My mum's
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: had breast cancer as well, so it's something that you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: it is literally close to our hearts and I, as
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I said before, I've done marathons, I've climbed mountains, all
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: kinds of things, and I thought, well, what could I
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: do that would be different. I didn't feel like I
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: could ask people to sponsor me to do the Race
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: for Life, although I will be doing it again this year,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: of course. But and then I spotted that you could
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: jump out of a plane for charity, and I thought, wow,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I wonder if they'll all come and do it with me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And I was absolutely delighted when all of them said
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: they would. I'm a little bit concerned that they're so
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: long that they'll really have to pick their feet up
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: when we get to the part.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: My daughter's done it and I went out there on
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the day and the plane is tiny. You'll have your
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: knees right up under your tune and then you really
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: have to double up when you jump out. But she,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: like everybody, was nervous. And I've known a few people
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: that have been in this studio and have done it
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and come back and said, oh, it was great, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: others have come back in. I know a fellow presenter
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in Radio Ashford. He was really really nervous about it
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: and when he did it? He just said that is
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: it never again?
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: But my daughter she wanted to get back in the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: plane and go back up there. Yeah. Yeah. So the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: logistics of it, did you are you doing this locally?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We're doing it in Headcorn Yes, where my daughter did.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: And Breast Cancer now have a relationship with the people
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: at Headcorn so that they can help you organize it,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: which is what they've done, and that's they've sent us
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: the lovely pink t shirts that we're wearing today.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Right, And is there you've been through a tough time medically?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Was there any issues? Did you have to take a
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: medical Did that make any difference at all?
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: It's funny, isn't it, Because you fill in the medical
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: form and the boys fall them in as well, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: it says if you have to tick yes at all
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: on anything, then you need to get a doctor to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: complete a form for you. And one of the questions
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: was have you ever been diagnosed with cancer? And you
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: know what those forms are like like. If it says
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: have you ever felt a little bit lightheaded? You can
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: just tick no even if in your life you have,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: because no one's going to know. But I didn't feel
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: like I could tick no against have you ever been
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: diagnosed with cancer? So I ticked yes, and the doctors
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: filled in at the Guildhall Street surgery is filled in
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: the form for me to allow me to be able
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: to do it because I'm not any kind of increased
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: risk because of what's happened to.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Me, right, Okay, so it's interesting. So they at least
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: they are looking after your best interest.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Definitely, they really are.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well we're going to take another little break now,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So we've got a song now. I found this one
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and it's Miloe in the corner there. He likes this one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And this is a song that's come from nineteen eighty two,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: but I only found it in recent news. I don't
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: remember it being played out in nineteen eighty two. But
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: this always reminds me of when Breakfast TV started and
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: there was a big thing about the weather man and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the weather ladies and they used to have a helicopter
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: flying over London. So this is the Alan Parsons project
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: and I in the sky.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Well at nineteen eighty two. It is probably my favorite
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: year of all time for music. And I don't know this.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: One, no, no, I'm sure it might have just come
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: back to you. But yeah, it's a classic, classic title
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and it really is a nice gentle song.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So here we go, Okay, there we go.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I in the sky there and we've just been talking
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: about that song and we think really it was more prominent,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: more famous in America. But it's nice to know that
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: some of the youngsters love that sort of music.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, So lastly link Now we are running out of times.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Half an hour gone already, so we're just gonna have
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: a quick word with the boys before we chat with mum.

• 19:21
  Speaker 2: five side game going from eight o'clock in the morning

  Speaker 2: to eight o'clock in the evening. And you paid. You
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: had to pay ten pound an hour for that hour.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: So basically they were generating one hundred pounds an hour.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And in the afternoon they had a couple of companies
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: come in a sponsored They said, right bank sponsorship, one
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: hundred pounds, we get some staff. Even if they can't
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: kick a ball. We get them in and play football

  Speaker 2: and that was great. I've got an interview coming up
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: in the second half with a man called Harry Nunn
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and who used to go to the Harvey anyway, So
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: let's hope the Sports center comes back. But I will
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: just say that the Saints are one of the biggest
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: growing clubs I've come across in the last few years.

  Speaker 2: their own little their own little team.
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: Campus doesn't have a team. It's a shame, but yeah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: I think I think my chance is pretty good. You know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: a local fifth division village team. I reckon I's not writing.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it right, s excellent. It's good here that
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: you keep it all up because I was listening back
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: to some of the interviews Jay that we did, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and there was one interview that we did on the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: phone where it was during COVID and the object of
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the interview was to see how your boys were coping
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: three active youngsters, you know where they climbing up the
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: walls and but it went all right, didn't they?
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Thankfully?
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: They were all teenagers in COVID and we were absolutely
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: utilizing that hour of exercise, getting out on bikes and
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: running and anything to kind of get the energy out.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: But yeah, they all seem to have turned out all right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: keV oh good, Yeah they are. Yeah. I don't know
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: what you put in the food. It's like they fall
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: asleep in a grow bags.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Giants.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're run it out of time now, So
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: it's really the last word is with you. Are you?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Are you? Are you personally nervous about this skydive.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Or you I wouldn't commit that in front of these.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Are you looking forward to it?
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah? I'm looking forward to it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I suspect there'll be some nerves when we're up there,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: but actually we won't. We won't let them, so, will
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: we We'll all just do it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Will you when you're.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Up in the plane, were you set the example and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: go out first? Or will you be hanging on at
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the end. It's a shame that. Yeah, we could just
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: picture it. It won't happen that there was an exit big
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: enough for all four of you to jump out, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: holding hands like that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Would be amazing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's likely.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Now, you're very brave, all of you. Just just to
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: get in the plane and get up there. Okay. So
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: it's been a long journey. It's been a tough journey
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: in the last year or so, Jay, so it's time

• 25:50
  Speaker 2: How many of you came back.

  Speaker 1: I didn't want to say I didn't want to say that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, that's it now, So thank you so much
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: all of you for coming in. And we're going to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: move on there with a song from the rem Brands
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and I'll be There for You, which just about sums
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: up this whole family.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: M h.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: There you go, there's the rem Brandts and I'll be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: there for you. Obviously the signaty tune from friends talking
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to friends. Things were real friendly lot were they?
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: What a big family we've had.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: To the scenes were a bit too too low in
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: there for them. They were such tall and yeah, taking
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of photographs and I mean, you're not the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: smallest of people, but you look even mum was nearly
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: six foot as well, so yeah, very tall family.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: There's one point that I did want to make on it,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: and it's very important actually, is that the four of
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: them are jumping out of planes and they're raising money
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and they've got over two thousand pounds, but it's not
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: true to jump out of a plane, and they are
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: all funding it themselves. So that's four people, you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: funding it themselves to raise two thousand pounds. So it
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: just shows you how dedicated that they are to this course.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I mean, I know Jason, like
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: she said, she had breast caster before, and I think
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: once you've had cancer, any cancer charity is worthwhile because
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: they now say one in two people that you know
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that have probably got cancer, So you should be all
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: right in here.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I've actually so you should be okay.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, you've got a room of ten people,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: five of them will possibly get cancer and it's you know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: every penny that can raise towards her trying to find
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: a cure for it is definitely worthwhile.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Certainly, when I compare a race for life, which is
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: for families. Now for everybody, there's always the question put
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: your hand out if you've been touched by cancer, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: there's just like nearly everybody, yeah, puts up. In fact,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Star lost my sister to cancer, which is sad, and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: so we're all we've all been affected by it. And
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the fact that these people with his family and anybody
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that's doing anything volunteering or doing anything for a cancer
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: charity really really need to be congratulated.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know a couple of people going through
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it at the moment, my best best mates not he's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: got a form of it, and you know, he's going
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: through a bit of a bad time at the moment.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: So it's up, Spud. You'll keep fighting, You'll be You'll
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: be fine. I'm sure you will. You're a fighter as well.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, So we've got a little while left,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if you want to do any
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: sport or just
