Darkness into Light walk: suicide awareness
Darkness Into Light is an annual, international 5 km sunrise walk to raise awareness of suicide and self-harm. Originally organised in Ireland in 2009 when 400 people walked together, it now takes place in around 15 countries in all five continents, with around 200,000 people. The walk will take place on May 6th from Clausen and all donations go to SOS Detresse, KJT and D'Ligue's Prevention Suicide. Caoimhe helped found the Darkness Into Light Luxembourg branch in 2019 four years after losing her mother to suicide. She talks passionately about why we need to raise awareness of suicide and mental health and stresses that ANYBODY can find themselves with a mental illness that leaves them feeling suicidal. The walk is an opportunity to start a conversation, to break down the stigma that prevents so many from seeking help, and to show those who are struggling that they are not alone.
