Ultramarathon run shatters silence about domestic violence

At 4.30am on the fifth day of her 850km run to raise awareness of domestic violence, ultramarathon runner Kirrily Dear opened her email to find a message from a woman who was unable to walk as a result of domestic abuse.

“Your journey keeps me motivated for the future,” the woman wrote in her email to Kirrily.

Ms Dear said the message was a turning point in her 12-day White Ribbon Run through Western NSW.
