The Darkness into Light Walk for Pieta, the suicide and self-harm prevention charity, returns to Ballybofey and Stranorlar on 10th May.
The Twin Towns sunrise walk is one of the largest in the county, with hundreds of walkers and runners taking the candlelit route for various reasons of support, solidarity, remembrance and gratitude. As a result, the organisers are also on the lookout for volunteers.
“It really helps us to know how many people are coming along so we can get our planning right – please don’t leave it to the last minute,” a spokesperson for the organisers added.
“Or even better, could you help us steward the event?”
For more information, to register, or to find out how you can get involved, visit Darkness into Light Ballybofey Stranorlar on Facebook.
This year’s walk will take place at sunrise on Saturday, 10th May, at 4:15am at the Finn Valley Centre, and is once again proudly supported by Electric Ireland.
Whether you take part to remember a loved one, honour a personal journey, show solidarity, or make sure suicide and self-harm prevention services remain available in Ireland, every step you take and every euro you raise will help Pieta continue offering free, professional support to those at risk of suicide, self-harm, or affected by suicide – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can register online at darknessintolight.ie
Sign up before Wednesday, 30th April, for the opportunity to purchase one of the brand new official 2025 Darkness into Light T-shirts and receive it ahead of the walk.
Darkness into Light is more than a fundraiser – it’s a powerful statement of hope, solidarity, and community support. The committee invites everyone to join on Saturday 10th May at 4.15am.
