Run Against Violence co-founders, Brad Smithers and Kirrily Dear woke up at around 4:30 am on a stinking-hot November morning in the town of Manila, NSW. Their simple plan for the day was to run an ‘easy marathon’ into Tamworth and attend the White Ribbon Cup football match. But those simple plans were about to change the course of their lives forever. ------ Thanks to Damo and Jez from the Aussie Runner Podcast for donating their time and expertise to be the hosts and producers for the RAV Podcast.
