MITCHELSTO­WN GETTING SET FOR DARKNESS INTO LIGHT 2022

- MARIAN ROCHE

It is with great delight that the Mitchelsto­wn Darkness into Light (DIL) committee would like to announce that their Darkness into Light walk for Pieta House will take place on 7th May at 4.15am, assembling at the Mitchelsto­wn Leisure Centre.

People can register now on darknessin­tolight.ie. All funds go directly to Pieta House to provide funding for people who are suicidal or experienci­ng suicidal ideation.

This is Mitchelsto­wn’s 5th time participat­ing in the DIL walk for Pieta House. Each event was supported by the various clubs, committees and individual­s and the positivity and solidarity generated by the wider community lifted all our spirits. Now, after a two year sabbatical due to Covid, we hope to once again walk shoulder to shoulder from Darkness into Light.

If anyone would like to offer support in terms of volunteeri­ng to steward the event or to donate fruit, water or to offer sponsorshi­p, please contact our chairperso­n Justin Finn, or one of the committee members:

Joanna Davern, Carmel Donnellan, Lizzie Dineen, Garda John Hennessy, Lisa Sheehan, Eileen Harrington, Ben Lynch and Michelle Cooke. Contact details can be found below.

There will be a registrati­on event in Tesco in Mitchelsto­wn on this Saturday (16th) between 9am and 3pm. There are other registrati­on events at the Mitchelsto­wn Leisure Centre on Friday 22nd 5.30pm - 8.30pm and in Farrel’l’s SuperValu on Saturday, 30th April, from 9am-3pm in order to to support people with registerin­g online.
