Find out how to register for Carrick-on-Suir's annual Darkness Into Light walk/run
A registration stand for the 5km walk in aid of Pieta suicide prevention charity will be at SuperValu in Carrick-on-Suir this Friday and Saturday
Carrick-on-Suir's annual Darkness Into Light 5km walk/run in aid of Pieta suicide and self-harm prevention charity takes place next week and a registration stand for the event will be at the town’s SuperValu this Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 3.
This is the 10th year of the Carrick-on-Suir Darkness Into Light event that will start from the Green School at 4.15am on May 10 and also finish at the school.
Mary Power of Carrick’s Darkness Into Light Committee said the Carrick walk/run has raised more than €125,000 for Pieta over that ten years.
The community registration stand for the event will be at SuperValu on Friday from 9am to 7pm and Saturday from 9am to 3pm.
Tickets for a fundraising raffle of His and Her self care hampers that Carrick Darkness Into Light Committee is organising will also be on sale.
The public can also register for the Darkness Into Light walk/run online at www.darknessintolight.ie.
Mary urged the public to register before the day of the walk/run rather than just showing up on the morning. She said Pieta is discouraging people from signing up on the morning of the event.
Meanwhile, the organisers are looking for volunteers from 4.30am to 6am on May 10 to help serve refreshments to Darkness Into Light participants at the Green School.
Anyone wishing to volunteer should contact Elaine at( 086) 211 7659 or message the Carrick-on-Suir Darkness Into Light Facebook page where you will also get further information and updates on the event.
