VOLUNTEERS wishing to help promote the upcoming event Darkness Into Light are being invited to come to Letterkenny Town Park this evening for a unique photo opportunity.
Photographer Prionsias Carr is donating his services and plane to take an aerial photo to promote the event on Saturday, May 10, in aid of Pieta House, a centre for the prevention of self-harm or suicide, which also hopes to open a branch in Donegal.
The event is an early morning experience which begins in darkness at the Letterkenny Community Centre at 4.15 am on Saturday, May 10, when thousands of people are expected to walk or run a 5 km route while dawn is breaking.
The early dawn represents hope and is symbolic of the work of Pieta House, bringing people from darkness back into the light.
Participants have been asked to be in the town park, wearing, yellow tops, for 6:15/6:30pm this evening, April 30, and keep posted on any updates via the Darkness Into Light Donegal Facebook page at www.facebook.com/DILDonegal.
