 Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (13:41): On Sunday I hauled my very unfit self out of bed at 6 am to join the hundreds of participants in the Wangaratta Marathon. Naturally, I only participated in the mini 5-kilometre run, but I was proud to pull on the Centre Against Violence singlet and hat and join the team running against violence. I am still feeling the workout today, but that is nothing in comparison to the thousands of Australians still facing violence every day. Congratulations to the organisers and the participants.
