With several hundred people joining us for our first event in Dublin’s Phoenix Park seven years ago, to thousands upon thousands of people across nearly 40 locations in May of last year, Darkness Into Light has grown beyond all expectations.

Hit the following link to sign up http://dil.pieta.ie/?/venue-v?/darkness-into-light-waterford In 2009, the Phoenix Park saw the first of the yellow t-shirt clad people assembling at an unthinkable?hour. There were about 400 people that fateful morning, all huddled together in the blackness and the cold, standing behind the starting line.?Who would have guessed that seven years on, the little event we call Darkness Into Light would be the symbol of hope, the celebration of life that it is today? With close to 80,000 participants last year, how could it get any bigger? But it has, and now Darkness Into Light is celebrated in 80 venues in Ireland and much further afield. In addition, we are thrilled to once again have our sponsor Electric Ireland, the leading energy supplier in the country on board to ensure 2015 is the best year yet for Darkness Into Light. Think about the thousands upon thousands of remarkable people who attended last year. Think about how delicious it will be to collapse back into your warm bed later on that morning, knowing that you?ve done your good deed for the day, and your exercise for the week! But ultimately, think about how Darkness Into Light is the flagship fundraising and awareness event for Pieta House, and without your support, we could not have helped so many people in distress over the last nine years.
