Help me stand up against suicide and self-harm.
I'm taking part in Darkness Into Light 2024 on Saturday, 11th May, to raise vital funds for Pieta and people affected by suicide and self-harm.
85% of Pieta's funding comes from fundraising events like Darkness Into Light, which is proudly supported by Electric Ireland.
You can help keep Pieta's essential services FREE and available to anyone who needs them by donating now to help me reach my fundraising goal.
A €24 donation could help answer two calls to Pieta's 24-hour Crisis Helpline for someone in suicidal distress. You can help Pieta to save lives.
Thank you so much for your support.

Together, we can bring light into the darkness.
Every year 703 000 people take their own life and there are many more people who attempt suicide. Every suicide is a tragedy that affects families, communities and entire countries and has long-lasting effects on the people left behind. Suicide occurs throughout the lifespan and was the fourth leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds globally in 2019.
Suicide does not just occur in high-income countries but is a global phenomenon in all regions of the world. In fact, over 77% of global suicides occurred in low- and middle-income countries in 2019.
Suicide is a serious public health problem; however, suicides are preventable with timely, evidence-based and often low-cost interventions. For national responses to be effective, a comprehensive multisectoral suicide prevention strategy is needed.
