Athlone GAA - Run in Darkness and In Light

“Run in Darkness & Light” for 24 or 48 hours straight from 5.30am on the May 7/8th until 5.30am Saturday May 9th to share in our sunrise appeal in aid of Pieta *Participants will run in consecutive slots for 24 or 48 hours straight! *Each participant will: RUN ON THEIR OWN within 2km of their home. *Complete at least 2 runs if running over the 48 hours. The need for our lifesaving services is greater than ever as COVID-19 impacts not only on the nation's physical health but its mental health too. As people find themselves worried, anxious, under strain, financially impacted and in many cases isolated and alone. We are encouraging clubs/players/friends & family that join in the run in darkness and in light event to post on Instagram tagging using #DILSunriseAppeal #DIL2020. #run4pieta so we can raise awareness for Pieta and make a difference. As we will not be walking together this May, Pieta and Electric Ireland would like to invite everyone to show community and solidarity with those impacted by suicide by getting up at 5:30am on 9th May to watch the sunrise from their homes. Please spread our message and offer hope by wearing a Darkness Into Light t-shirt, or anything yellow, and sharing your sunrise moment using #DILSunriseAppeal #DIL2020. Thanks in Advance! #run4pieta
