Just over a year ago I had the privilege of helping share @Bunts1310’s experience with domestic violence. 12 months on, she’s driven a themed round for @UCCapitals. I spoke with Bunts, mum Gigi, team mate @jade_melbourne + Caps GM Lucille Bailie for @ESPNAusNZ 🤍 #WNBL23 @WNBL
Silver medal-winning Opal and courageous mother Alex Bunton last year shared her harrowing domestic violence experience, but is now ready to raise awareness in the UC Capitals' final-round match against Perth this weekend. bit.ly/3Zv2d8F
