Royal Irish Yacht Club Sail Darkness into Light
I am the contact for the Royal Irish Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire, Sail Darkness into Light fundraising page, and am calling all sailors, rowers, paddle boarders to join us on Saturday 9th May, for a very special experience on the water to watch the dawn rise in aid of Pieta. Boats are planning to leave the docks from 0430 onwards. All clubs have a fund raising link or share https://www.darknessintolight.ie/fundraisers/irishsailingriyc
Thank you as always to Irish Sailing for backing me on this initiative since 2022 and to the many sailing clubs around the country, we are heading into our fifth year supporting this great charity.
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.
Pieta call Darkness into Light the most important sunrise not just because of what happens on this date, but because of what it represents for the other 364 sunrises and their efforts every day, every week.
By donating to this 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 your support
Always a very special sail.
