00:00Thanks Paul. So first and foremost thank you so much for coming out this morning.

00:07We've been truly overwhelmed by the support that we've had and what we've

00:14done. We've had the best three weeks we can possibly imagine. There's been no

00:19shortage of challenges along the way but it has absolutely reinforced why

00:28we're doing this. The row is kind of interesting but it's not about that.

00:34It's about building awareness around MND and I think we've been

00:39incredibly lucky with what happened down at Great Yarmouth. I mean if

00:44you had to write it you wouldn't you couldn't have made it up but all you

00:48know the number of notes on the donation. I mean the money that we've raised

00:51obviously has accelerated and we've got lots of stuff that we're working on for

00:55the next few years and for you know it to go from something that people are

01:00talking about something that everybody's talking about not and that's what we set

01:04out to do. It's about making this front of mind and the only way we'll we will

01:10solve this and the only way we'll bring hope is by making this front of mind for

01:14every single person every day and we will absolutely not stop until we've

01:20we've achieved that. So really appreciate you being here.
