HUNTER women who feel trapped in abusive relationships: you are not alone.

That's the message from celebrities who have thrown their support behind Hunter anti-domestic violence charity Got Your Back Sista (GYBS) and its October 16 I Run For Her event, which invites people to walk or run any distance and location to raise awareness and funds to help women and children rebuild after abuse.
