The 5km walk aims to raise awareness about the importance of suicide prevention and offer support to those who have been affected by suicide by walking 5km from the darkness of the night to meet the light of sunrise.
Darkness into Light originated in Ireland in 2009 with approximately 400 people in attendance at the first event. Today, there are 200 official walks across 15 countries spanning 5 continents, with over 150,000 people taking part from Belfast to Belgium to Brisbane.
Funds raised will support our local charity partner, headspace, the national youth mental health foundation.
