Thousands across Sligo and the North West will walk from darkness into dawn this Saturday morning, in support of Pieta and mental health awareness.

The 14th annual Darkness Into Light walk gets underway at 4.15am from the ATU Knocknarea Arena in Sligo, with events also taking place in Banada Abbey, Donegal and across the country.

Funds raised help Pieta continue to provide free therapy and support services for people impacted by suicide, self-harm and mental health crisis.

Speaking to Ocean FM News, organiser Paula says Darkness Into Light has become a powerful community movement, reminding people that no one has to face their struggles alone.

While Sligo's Darkness Into Light Chairperson Anne Tully, who lost her own brother to suicide, says the event is helping to open up conversations around mental health and is urging anyone struggling to seek help.
