  Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, you are the author of your story, of
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: your journal.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: In this journal, you will get to know yourself better.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And who better to get to know, dear journal.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Yesterday's Netble game was monumental. Cancer affects us all in
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: some way. If it's not us, it's someone we love,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and yesterday we were united for the Cancer Society. But
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: let's not forget the driving force behind how this event
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: came about. It was an idea in a planning room,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: but the only person who could bring it to life
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: was Tony. She picked up her phone and nearly every
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: person she called said yes. That's a genuine testament to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: her character. Tony has created these relationships through her years
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: as a sports journalist, her commitment and involvement at Netble
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: week in and week out, and the fact that every
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: interaction with Tony is a positive one always. In fact,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: she even had to lock down my groomsman from my wedding,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Kirk Penny, because of my lack of plan Tony, you
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: are a force, but a kind, gentle force of love that,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: when push comes to shove, isn't afraid of applying a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Chinese burden.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry. For that pushing and shoving last night.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: That's beautiful and you know and every word is right
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: and true. High journal wa a week we played in
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: a charity nipple match, playing with and against some of
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the greatest athletes New Zealand has ever known, Olympians, World Champs, icons,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and some of the most generous people you could ever
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: hope to meet. They all gave their time to help
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: us raise money for those affected by cancer, like so
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: many of us are or have been. The numbers are
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: now one in three New Zealanders. My family's amongst those numbers,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: with both my parents losing their parents. So yeah, my
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: grandparents to this heartbreaking disease. As a proud mummies boy
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: and someone who regards my dad as one of my
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: best friends, that scares me to my core. It's also
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: another reason why I'll be celebrating Father's Day this Sunday.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Being a dad is one of the greatest things to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: ever happen to me. Being my father's son also ranks
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: right up there too. They say every child deserves a
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: dad they can be proud of, and I hit the jackpot.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And I really hope that one day my kids somehow
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: feel the same way about me so to the fathers
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and the father figures everywhere, and to you if this
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: has made you think about your dad, I hope this
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Sunday is a really nice day for you. And if
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you can't be with your dad, I hope the thought
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: of him makes you smile. To my dad, thank you,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I love you. And to the mums who made us dads,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: thank you.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oh Jase, that was so sweet. And you know what,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I know your boys thing You're a wonderful dad already.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It won't take them years to know that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I'm very lucky.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Dear journal, Well, that was a joyful experience, wasn't it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Being part of a charity event like our netball game
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: warms the soul. Knowing so many people are willing to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: support the Cancer Society by doing their bit. From the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: players who text back within minutes to say hell yes,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: sign me up, to the umpires, physios and commentators that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gave up their precious time free of charge. And then
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: there is you, our wonderful listeners who have donated funds
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to help people and families facing heroin cancer journeys to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: feel make sure they feel supported and seen. Coincidentally, my
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: good friend Mark is right in the middle of a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: chemotherapy cycle this week, and he and his wife Candace
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: are two of the most divine and positive people I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know even throughout this ordeal. So I'm proud of everyone
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: who has contributed to the our Cancer Society this week
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and will continue to do so today by texting support
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the word support to two zero six, because I know
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: exactly the people that you are helping, people like Candice
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and Mark, and they truly deserve every bit of help
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that we can give them. Amen on that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much. That's a bit of a snapshot
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: of our week. Hopefully you've had a really nice one
• 3:25
