Error: Compile Error: expecting an equals sign, found 'record' at line 2 column 20

I'm trying to update the Task Helper record with the Related Event ID and keep getting this error.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

trigger UpdatedRelatedEventField on Task_Helper__c (before insert, before update) {
    for(Task Helper record: Trigger.new) {
        try {
            record.Related_Event__c = Id.valueOf(record.Related_Event__c);
        } catch(Exception e) {
            
        }
    }
}

Now if it actually did what I need ed it to do, I'd be all set. I'm trying to pull in the ID of the Event that a Task and the Task Helper are created from. The Event ID pulls into the a Task vf page just fine via a trigger into the field 'Related Event'. I also have this field on the Task Helper object, ('Related Event'). Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Let me see if I understand:

So, you're unable to get the Related_Event__c id value correct?

If so, how is this field populated on the Visual Force Page? How is the trigger fired?

Thanks
