00:00Thanks for joining us Stephen. We're here ahead of the Terrang fun run and walk.
00:04Can you tell us a little bit about this year's ambassador?
00:07Yeah, Dean's been a bit of a legend in Terrang for quite a number of years.
00:12Everybody knows him. He's always got a smile for everyone and quite a delightful way about him.
00:18So, 40 years ago Dean, for the first time as an 8-year-old, was pushed by his father Gary in a wheelchair.
00:26Gary and his brother designed the chair to be able to participate.
00:33We looked at our records and because it was 40 years we thought it was a nice time to recognise Dean and make him our ambassador for the first time.
00:44Dean's quite chuffed about it and we're pretty proud to have him as our ambassador. It's a good thing.
00:53You've also added an All Abilities event, a 700 metre race to the program this year. Can you tell us about that?
01:00Yeah, it's the first time we've made it to the All Abilities section.
01:05The run runs from Moora to Terrang and crosses the railway line and it's got about 700 metres to go.
01:11We figured it would be nice to be able to give any All Abilities people an opportunity to compete.
01:21700 metres is quite a nice distance and really enabling everybody to participate.
01:30We've had some nice feedback about it so hopefully we can get good numbers.
01:35No worries, well best of luck for it all.
01:37Thanks very much.
