๐THANK YOU๐
What an unforgettable morning we had again this year our biggest and most memorable one yet. So many of you came together to walk into the most important sunrise of the year, and it simply wouldnโt have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors ๐
A heartfelt thank you to every single company that donated and helped make this event so special. Your generosity meant our participants could return to the GAA hall and be surrounded by the kindness and warmth our community in Celbridge has to offer. For me those moments in the Gaa are as important as the actual walk. It's there we sit down amongst those in our community and meet those in similar situations, find that listening ear or simply find someone to have a chat and a cup of tea with. Those moments can mean everything to someone struggling.
One of the most powerful moments of the morning for me was seeing two women, complete strangers, arrive alone and leave together as friends. That memory will stay with me. That moment has shown me that the morning was a success. It was such a beautiful reminder that we are truly never alone someone is always there.
We truly couldnโt have done this without our amazing sponsors and volunteers. They are the backbone of this entire event, and their kindness made a difference not just on the morning itself, but to the lives Pieta supports every single day.
To those sponsors who have continued to support our committee and community over the past three years thank you. Your ongoing support means more to us than words can say.
As always its been an absolute privilege to help bring another successful Darkness Into Light to Celbridge again this year. It is a privilege to be part of a community that stands together through loss, difficult times and in support of one another ๐
