Over 200,000 people from all over the world took part in 'Darkness Into Light 2018' early this morning.
Ten years ago, Pieta House set up the walk/run with the aim of raising suicide awareness as well as vital funds for the counseling services for people bereaved by suicide or with suicidal thoughts.
We’re lighting up the world this morning! Thank you, each and every one, for your support, your belief, and your incredible generosity 💛 #DIL2018 pic.twitter.com/jW7GhKNC1G
