Co Kilkenny village to host Darkness Into Light walk

Each year the walk provides an opportunity for people to connect with their local community and to bring hope to people who have been impacted by suicide. The route takes walkers on a tranquil journey from Inistioge village, over the bridge and along the river Nore.

In 2009, in the Phoenix Park in Dublin, 400 people set off on the inaugural Darkness Into Light 5km walk to raise funds for Pieta. From small beginnings, the movement has continued to grow, and now there are over 150,000 participants in Darkness Into Light each year.

Pieta is 85pc funded by fundraising events like Darkness Into Light. Since Darkness Into Light began, supporters have helped Pieta raise over €36 million. Consequently, Darkness Into Light directly contributes to enabling Pieta to provide services to people impacted by suicide and self-harm.
