Dublin Bus offering free morning shuttle service to Phoenix Park for Darkness Into Light participants

Dublin Bus will offer free shuttle services to the Phoenix Park on Saturday 11 of May for Darkness Into Light participants.

The service will begin at 2am, and will offer swift access to the park for those looking for a quick route out.

The fundraising event has risen from 400 participants at its inauguration in Dublin 2009 to over 200,000 throughout global 150 locations in 2018.

Dublin woman Jennifer Betts shares heartbreak of losing father Brian, 71, to suicide in emotional post 

Each year the walk provides an opportunity for people to connect with their local community and to show their support for those who have been bereaved by suicide.

Tragically, around 500 people die by suicide each year in Ireland and the walk into the light is aimed at encouraging people to talk about issues around suicide.

Where are the Darkness Into Light venues in Dublin? When is it on and how do I register? 

It comes just weeks after the 'Cycle Against Suicide' initiative which aimed to bring more awareness to the topic, and to ensure people that they are not alone.
