Darkness Into Light, Pieta’s annual fundraising event to raise money for lifesaving suicide and self-harm support and sponsored by Electric Ireland, is back this Saturday, 11th May, at 4.15 a.m..
Four Roscommon towns — Boyle, Castlerea, Roscommon Town and Strokestown — will host official walks early on Saturday morning.
With 100,000 participants expected at more than 230 official walks across four continents and many more taking part to fundraise in their own way, Darkness Into Light 2024 will bring communities together for the most important sunrise of the year, beginning in darkness and continuing through to dawn, symbolising the journey from despair to hope.
