C2G WALK: Congratulations to everyone connected with this fantastic walk - Cargo to Grenfell.

After 96 kms and three gruelling days on the road, the organisers, volunteers and walkers were welcomed at the Grenfell Country Club by their families and friends and medical staff to check them out - particularly their tender feet.

The Grenfell Lions Club was on hand and volunteered cooking the barbecue, which was enjoyed by all.

The C2G focused on the central west region and aims to host mental health workshops throughout the region - continuing their efforts to support those suffering with mental health related issues.

Toby Barons and Sarah Knowles wrap on C2G 2020.

"From a couple of kids who had a vision, passion for making a difference and one crazy idea to walk a really long way, to where we are now.

We could not be happier with where this event has gone and the people, we have connected with because of it.

We are blown away with the feed-back we have received and hope we can continue to deliver a successful fundraiser event for many years to come.

To every single person and organisation who supported us in any way over the past year, thank you so much. We could not be more grateful to all of you.

To our walkers, congratulations! We are so proud of all of you and thankful that you joined us on our journey for mental health. We hope you'll all be back in the future.

To our volunteers, thanks once again for being so incredibly easy to work with. You are the back- bone of our event and we are so lucky to work with such an amazing team year after year.

Thanks once again to our sponsors, our event could not run without your support".
