Sunrise Run for Dad
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.

A message from Rose
As you all know I lost my dad to suicide 31 years ago. It was out of the blue one Monday morning and I have thought about him every single day since. Our lives were shattered that day but it did make us a more kind and empathetic family with a deep understanding about the complex grief associated with suicide. My lovely dad Jim was a very kind, warm and funny man and so I will be running 5km at sunrise on the 9th May for him. So please help me save some lives and donate if you can. Thanks so much RoseThank you to my Sponsors
