THE annual Darkness Into Light charity walk for Pieta took place across Donegal this morning, including in Gaoth Dobhair where there was a large turnout.
Darkness Into Light 2026, proudly supported by Electric Ireland, is Pieta’s biggest fundraiser. The 5km walk will take place at 4.15 am in locations around the country and across Donegal.
The funds raised through Darkness Into Light support Pieta’s lifesaving free services to people who have been affected by suicide or self-harm. This inspiring event also symbolises hope, as communities come together to support mental health, suicide and self-harm prevention.
There were 11 official Darkness Into Light walks taking place across Donegal this morning, Saturday, May 9.
