Townsville’s inaugural Roads2Recovery walk
MIFNQ's first Roads2Recovery event took place on Friday October 5 along Townsville's beautiful Strand.
About 20 or so people joined us to show their support for those people with mental illness, their carers and family members.

It was a glorious way to end the week and to kick start Mental Health Week for 2012.
