In 2009, in Dublin's Phoenix Park, 400 people set off to complete a 5km walk to raise funds for Pieta, setting off the start of Darkness Into Light.
Each year the walk provides an opportunity for people to connect with their local community and to bring hope to people who have been impacted by suicide. Our team of dedicated volunteers, in Ireland and overseas, return year on year to make the event a success and to help us all continue to raise awareness and hope in the global fight against suicide and self-harm.
In 2022, we were delighted to welcome back our in-person walks in Ireland and worldwide. So, this year, we invite you to participate in Darkness Into Light in whatever way you want for a sunrise moment on 11th May 2024.
The important thing is that you share a sunrise moment together, and raise vital funds for people affected by suicide and self-harm. Together, we will create a global sunrise moment and join to be the light against the dark.
Pieta is so proud to have been supported by Electric Ireland since 2013. Together, Pieta and Electric Ireland and our partner charities and supporters across the world have grown Darkness Into Light into a global act of solidarity for people affected by suicide and self-harm.
Other ways to participate
Darkness into Light is always reliant on volunteers to make our events run smoothly. If you are interested in helping out in any way, please email info@darknessintolight.ie
Instead of taking part in one of our organised walks, you can also participate by starting your own fundraiser. Please see here for more information, as registrations are now open.
