Walk or run with us on May 6th for Darkness Into Light, and join the global movement against suicide. Register now at darknessintolight.ie
Now in its ninth year, Darkness Into Light – once again supported by Electric Ireland – will start in the early hours of Saturday, May 6th. This unique event begins in darkness at 4.15am, and will see thousands of people walk or run 5km routes across the globe while the dawn is breaking. Last year 130,000 people woke up early to walk from the darkness into the light. Will you join us this year?
Darkness Into Light
Darkness Into Light (DIL) is Pieta House’s flagship annual fundraising and awareness event. It started with approximately 400 people in the now iconic yellow DIL T-shirts walking the 5km course in Dublin’s Phoenix Park in 2009. This year, we will have roughly 150 DIL venues across Ireland and worldwide. Last year we had 130,000 people sharing the light and helping us to promote suicide prevention and to tackle the stigma that leads people to the doors of Pieta House centres. Please join us on Saturday 6th May this year!
Pieta House
Pieta House was founded in Lucan, Co Dublin, in 2006 and now has services right across Ireland. Pieta offers free counselling to those suffering from suicidal ideation, those who have been bereaved by suicide and people who are engaging in self-harm. Staff are fully qualified and provide a professional one-to-one therapeutic service. For more information visit the Pieta House website.
Support Our Campaign
We rely on the generosity of the public to fund our work and so far together we have achieved great things! Please do continue to support us so we can provide future generations in Ireland with the resources to recognise and talk about their emotions, and equip them to navigate the ever-changing world around them as they grow
