Corkagh Park Darkness Into Light is launched
CORKAGH Park’s Darkness Into Light Committee launched their registration drive for this year’s walk in aid of Pieta.
The event, supported by Electric Ireland, will take place on sunrise in the early hours of Saturday, May 6.
Clondalkin’s Stephanie Bowden, who took part in RTE’s Operation Transformation this year, joined the DIL 2023 committee to officially launch this year’s event.
“Your support will help Pieta ensure they can reach as many people as possible who have been affected by suicide and self-harm,” said Stephanie.
“This year’s event will be the second walk held locally in Corkagh Park and will be the closest official walk for residents in Clondalkin, Lucan, Rathcoole, Newcastle and Saggart.”
Lorraine Murphy Co-Chair of the Committee, urges anyone interested in joining to register quickly as “places are filling up fast”.
TD Emer Higgins, PRO for the committee has called for volunteers to assist on the night.
Lorraine Smith, a local Zumba instructor, who helped out at last years event by leading the warm-up, highly recommended being involved: “I’d encourage anyone to get involved, you won’t regret it – besides what else would you be doing at 4am.”
If you would like to volunteer to help out on the night email ‘I’d like to help’ to corkaghpark@darknessintolight.ie
