DARKNESS INTO LIGHT LAUNCHED
THE BRAY Darkness into Light walk takes place this year on Saturday, May 12, at 4.15 a.m.
The County Wicklow launch was hosted by the Bray Darkness into Light Committee in the Town Hall in Bray last Wednesday, where volunteers from Arklow Wicklow Balltinglass and Bray were congratulated by Kieran Brady from Pieta House on the work done to raise awareness of the support offered by Pieta House.
Pieta House operates the Suicide Bereavement Counselling Centres that had previously been operated by Console. They provide free counselling, therapy and support to individuals, couples, families and children who have been bereaved by suicide. They also offer a Suicide Bereavement Liaison Service and the Freecall 24/7 suicide helpline 1800 247 247. and all monies raised by this event go to provide these services. Registration this year is available only online. For those participants who may not have use of a computer Bray Municipal District are providing registration at the Tourist Office located in the Civic Offices, Main Street, Bray, Monday to Friday during office hours.
Participants are requested to arrive early on the morning as last year it was estimated that over 4,000 people attended the Bray event last year in support of this worthy cause.
Last year’s Darkness into Light in Bray broke fundraising records, with a total amount raised exceeding a huge €103,000.
