Darkness Into Light

Darkness Into Light, the annual fundraising event organised by Pieta & supported by Electric Ireland, is taking place on Saturday, May 6, from Ballinamore Community School at 4.15am.

More than 100,000 people will come together across 200 locations for the most important sunrise of the year. Each year the walk provides an opportunity for communities to come together and to bring hope to people who have been impacted by suicide.

Organisers are welcoming everyone to join the event and raise vital funds for Pieta’s lifesaving services.

Suicide continues to be a real problem in Ireland and was the leading cause of death in young men aged under 25 in the country in 2019.

Darkness Into Light helps raise essential funds and enables Pieta to continue providing free of charge suicide prevention, intervention and bereavement support to people of all ages across Ireland.

The funds raised from this year’s Darkness Into Light will help communities within Leitrim, with the funding going directly to Pieta’s services.
