Big turnout expected for Darkness into Light event in Inistioge

Inistioge will once again host a 'Darkness into Light' event on Saturday, May 11.

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. The route takes walkers on a tranquil journey from Inistioge village, over the bridge and along the River Nore starting at Cois Abhann Community Centre at 4.15am. 

Please join in to share a sunrise moment and raise vital funds for people affected by suicide and self-harm. 

In 2009, in the Phoenix Park in Dublin, 400 people set off on the inaugural Darkness Into Light 5km walk to raise funds for Pieta. From small beginnings, the movement has continued to grow, and now there are over 150,000 participants in Darkness Into Light each year.  

Pieta is 85% funded by fundraising events like Darkness Into Light. Since Darkness Into Light began, supporters have helped Pieta raise over €36 million.
