00:00I'm honoured to be here today and see it up and running in just over a year.

00:04An incredible fundraising effort by a huge team of people who's gone into this.

00:08None more so than Kevin and his knees and his hips have taken a bath drink.

00:12It has raised probably 40% of this building's fundraising total, which is incredible.

00:17I just can't commend enough people who've put this together and really got it on, you know, built in the ground here.

00:22So I think Rob's legacy will live on and you guys should be so proud of your father

00:28because he really was an incredibly brave and very special man.

00:32And this is a world-leading centre that's going to save a lot of lives.

00:36And for that, you should be very proud.

00:38And everyone is very grateful for you letting us in on your family life

00:42and understanding quite what you've been managing together.

00:46So it's my pleasure to be here.

00:49And just so many congratulations to Wally for getting to this point

00:52that this thing is not here to help so many people so well.

00:59Thank you very much.
