Darkness Into Light takes place on the 11th of May in 2024. Celebrated annually in May, Darkness Into Light is organised by Pieta House to raise awareness about suicide and self-harm, while also offering support to those affected by these issues. Participants gather before dawn to walk or run a 5km route, symbolising the journey from darkness into light and bringing hope to those struggling with mental health challenges. This event is not held on the same date each year, but it typically occurs in early May.
Darkness Into Light began in 2009 with just 400 participants in Dublin’s Phoenix Park and has since grown into a global movement with events taking place in numerous countries. The event raises vital funds for Pieta House, a non-profit organisation that provides free, professional support to those in suicidal crisis and those who engage in self-harm. The walk represents solidarity and support for those affected by mental health issues and promotes the importance of mental wellness and community support.
