Our fundraising will help Pieta provide
93 helpline hours
24 crisis counselling sessions
11 therapy sessions
Please support my Darkness Into Light fundraiser.
I’m taking part in Darkness Into Light 2026 to support Pieta and bring hope to people affected by suicide and self-harm.
Every day, people find themselves in moments of deep distress. They feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. Pieta is there for them, offering free, professional support at a time when it matters most.
Events like Darkness Into Light are vital. Around 80% of Pieta’s funding comes from public fundraising, including this event, proudly supported by Electric Ireland. This fundraising helps keep Pieta’s suicide and self-harm prevention services free and accessible for anyone who needs them, anywhere in Ireland.
By donating to my fundraiser, you are helping to ensure that someone in crisis can reach a trained therapist, be listened to, and feel less alone in that moment.
A €24 donation could help answer two calls to Pieta's 24-hour Crisis Helpline, moments that can make a real difference and even save lives.
Thank you so much for supporting me and for helping Pieta continue this life-saving work.

Community come together
I’m proud to be part of a small community where people look out for one another. Like many places across Ireland, suicide has affected families and friends close to home, and it’s something that reminds us how important it is to support each other.
That’s why I take part in Darkness Into light each year.
The walk isn’t just about the early start or the distance covered it’s about bringing people together. It gives us a chance as a community to pause, show support, and raise awareness around mental health and suicide prevention.
Events like this help start conversations that might not always happen in everyday life. Sometimes a simple chat, a check-in, or walking side by side can make a real difference.
Seeing people of all ages come together before sunrise shows the strength of community spirit. Everyone walks for their own reasons, but we all share the same goal supporting one another and promoting hope.
I’m looking forward to walking again this year and encouraging as many people as possible to join us.
Thank you to my Sponsors
