But like, if you're like the motivation behind it, um, started when I was with Kenny Mac, like Kenny McBennett.

So he would go to like, um, in Wellington, like some of the really rough areas in Wellington.

Um, and he'll just throw on like little mini ball cams, you know what I mean?

And it's like,

It was interesting to see, because as we grew up, we would hear always all the stories about Kenny Mack.

People would come up, even now, they'll come up just like, oh, Kenny used to come to my school when we used to do camps.

And he really woven himself into the fabric of that community.

And so, like, when he was with me in the States, we talked about this a lot, how much, like, how to give back.

Because, like, I grew up through his system, and so it's just, like, a part of the ecosystem where, okay, I made it here, I want to give back.

But even the players that he dealt with in, like, those rough areas, they're actually giving back, too.

It's just different scales, right?

So we're all doing the same thing, and it's still from Kenny Mack, where he started.

So it was really cool from that standpoint, but...

And that's all this is.

And just like getting the right people around, around me.

So the Pathway Boys, just awesome, awesome group of lads helping me just like fulfill this, you know.

Um, I think it's just one of those moments where you try and do the best you can.

Just like, I don't know.

It's just like for the kids, it just means like the reactions on their faces and stuff.

It's just like something, I don't know.
