Support my walk to help stop suicide

On Saturday, 9th of May, I’ll be taking part in Darkness Into Light 2026. This is a walk that holds deep meaning for so many people, myself included.  

I’m walking to show support for those who are struggling right now, to honour those we’ve lost, and to help ensure Pieta can continue to be there for people when they need support most. 

Every step I take is for someone who may feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed. It’s my way of saying, “You are not alone. Help is available. There is always light, even when it’s hard to see it.” 

If you’re in a position to support my walk, please know that every single euro helps Pieta continue to answer the call and guide people towards hope at some of the darkest moments of their lives. 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this and for supporting me along the way.

My Dad❤️

My first walk for awareness

Hello, my name is Ciarán Somers and this is my first ever Darkness into Light walk.

I’m taking part this year in honor of my much loved Dad Philip Somers who sadly passed away in January this year to Pulmonary Fibrosis.

I’m also doing this walk to make myself proud of where i came from. Those tough dark places where you feel lost or alone, to show that you can always be a strong person for yourself, and to help raise more awarness for others who feel they cant reach out.

I love my dad and miss him so much everyday. I only became aware that he also felt those dark tough places which shows that you never know what people are going through. So this walk is for the both of us.

Always ask for help and keep going.
Thank you,
Ciarán Somers

Ciarán, both Daddy and I are and always have been so very proud of you. You have become the most wonderful, kindest and thoughtful young man. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Never change, always be the shining light that you are and be kind to yourself. This is an amazing achievement and I know how important it is to you. Never look back, keep moving forwards and well done. ❤️❤️❤️
