‘I CAN’T THANK EVERYONE ENOUGH’
Penny Callaghan will never be able to thank the hundreds of volunteers who helped search for her son – but she’s determined to try.
The mother-of-two faced every parent’s nightmare when eldest son William, who is non-verbal and autistic, went missing on a bushwalk at Mount Disappointment on June 8, 2020.
A year later, Penny, 48, reunited with crew members from the Whittlesea SES, who had scoured bushland to find her boy.
“It was emotional,”. “For the team, these searches don’t often end well, and it was so good for all of us to meet again and share in that really good outcome.
