Darkness into lightđź’›
On Saturday I took part in the pieta house darkness into light walk, it was an amazing event to be apart of. I want to share my experience and some photos from the event.
It was such an incredible sight entering the phoenix part at 3:30 am and just seeing a sea of yellow t-shirts and torches, everybody walking together towards the start line.
Over 12,000 people took part in the phoenix park venue, this was one of 30 venues across Ireland, in all over 150,000 people across Ireland woke up in the early hours and took part in the darkness into light walk.
The amount of people participating in and support the event is rising every year, it sends such a powerful, positive message to people struggling with mental health issues, Don’t be afraid to talk about it, your not alone, there is help and support to get you through it.

It was amazing to see so many people supporting the cause and taking the stigma and shame away from mental health issues.
