• 2:03
  Speaker 2: how can people get involved if they are keen to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: really be part of it this year because as you said,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: last year, unfortunately COVID threw a bit of a spanner
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in the works for everybody, and it wasn't able to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: happen last year. But if people are keen for this year,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: they've got a bit of time. How can they get involved?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, yeah, one hundred percent.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: We were in totally implanning mode and then when yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: covid came in, they're.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Just like, yeah, it was it was crazy hectic.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, one hundred percent crews for THECUSE dot
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: com dot au. We've got a Facebook page, we an
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Instagram page. People can follow that, but definitely if they
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: get registered and they can join in as either a
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: passenger in a car or a bike or if they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: going to be a participant. There is a fee to
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: join in, But what we're asking people to do is
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: when they register, they get their friends in family to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: sponsor them, workmates, whoever. You know, even if it's five
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: bucks here and there, and it adds up. You know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: we've got some fundraisers every year. They're raised incredible amounts
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: of money individually, know, two grand, three grand, We've got
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: some real hard charges. Because what we're trying to do is,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you know, the funds that we're raising this year is
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: going to Northern Territory blokes. It's going to it's just
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: put pos a cancer Nation of Australia, you know, sending
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: away empty blokes for clinical trials and stuff that's going
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: on down south because there's been some research done through
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the Stargate Project and the stats are quite bad for
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Northern Territory. As you know, Katid with you know, all
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: male cancers in Northern Territory is prost cancer and we
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: you know, we're in a jurisdiction where you know, the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: diagnosis is quite late, so people you know, there at
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the stage where you know it's quite hard to beat it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: But there is some you know, some proactive things going on.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So that's what we're trying to help. You know, the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: funds that we're raising, we want to help empty blokes.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We're not in about you know, sending it away overseas.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, keep our grip on the throttle standings, load of
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: pedal and just you know, just smash it out, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: sort of.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Do what we can do. But yeah, the more people.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Basically had the conversation spread awareness. But one ndred percent
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: if people and they want to come down to Cavanagh
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Street or eave.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: This cafe they haven't got a bike or a car and.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Just spectate, because we had a lot of people who
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: just did that. You know, if they want to get
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: in touch with us and they wear they're out us,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: so like they want to sit on the side of
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the road somewhere where we go past, because we have
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a lot of people do that. And yeah, basically, if
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you know people who've got a bike or a car,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: or a rod or a muscle carb, get in touch
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: with them, remind them about the event, getting to get involved.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe you can jump on as a passenger or something
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: if you haven't got a vehicle type thing. And yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: have a bit of a laugh because Katie, we're still
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: going to get you out one of these rides one
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: of these days, now, I know, look good.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I know I'll have to do it. And you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I like you touched on. Though the numbers in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: territory are high when it comes to prostate cancer. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: then when you look, you know, nationally, we're talking like
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: every thirteen minutes, one of our fathers, our sons, our uncles,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: our friends is going to hear that they've got prostate cancer. Now,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you know, I know how that feels, and I know
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: how feels to find out your dad's not only got
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: prostate cancer, but that it's spread all through his bones,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: all through his body. And I tell you what, it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a feeling that you hope nobody else ever has to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: go through. So that's why I reckon, as you've said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it is such an important thing to have those conversations,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to talk to each other, particularly blokes. You know, I'll
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: be honest, you guys don't talk as often about your
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: health as what we do.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Caleb, that there's I think you'd probably know about
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the Stargate Project YEP, which is a big punching the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: numbers and stuff, and it was basically prostate cancer Regional
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: fact Sheet, but there's sort of stuff around with the
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: wording and to get what they call Stargate project.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And they've gone through all.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: The registries and stuff, antique cancer and all the light
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: from nine to eighty two to twenty sixteen, but what
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: they call the prevalent startup and there's nine hundred blokes
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: alive today in the modern churchy being diagnosed with prostate
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: cancer in their lifetime records began, and that is, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: are alive, but we know it's got one of the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: highest more tally rates. And as you're rightly said, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: as I keep on banging on every year, you know,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: we'll fix our motor bikes, we'll fix our cars, we'll
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: fix our boats, we'll fix.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: All that stuff.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: When there's something biggling going wrong at our health. You know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: we don't take the signals that our body gives us.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: You know, we forget to do these medicals or this
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: or that. You get to a certain age and there
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: is things we need to be proactive with, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: different testing stuff at different ages. So remind your mates
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: if you had that done yet. Bring up conversation. Blakes
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: are getting a lot better about it. I'm noticing that,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you know, and I think in everyone circle, all the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: listeners out there right now, we've all got friends who
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: are going through some sort of cul scenario at the moment,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and it is a lot better these days. We get
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: things mipped in the but earlier people more aware of it,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: we can do something about it. You know, you're not
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: going to drive around in your car or your bike
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: with a flat tie. You know you're not going to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: have bits fallen.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Off, So don't let it happen to your body with
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: our body. Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've still got to get two motorbikes going forward.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: You and I have an interested spanners on that, so
