Pieta 24

Pieta 24 is challenging you to make a difference! On July 24, 2024, we invite you to participate in an important fundraising challenge by completing a 24KM or 24-hour challenge of your choice. Whether you choose to run, walk, cycle, swim, or create your own unique challenge, your participation will help raise awareness and vital funds for Pieta’s services.

Why July 24th Matters to Us

This date is symbolic for Pieta, as it highlights our commitment to providing round-the-clock support through our 24/7 freephone crisis helpline (1800 247 247) and our 24/7 crisis therapy services. These services are essential for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, engaging in self-harm, or for those who are bereaved by suicide. By taking on the Pieta 24 challenge, you are helping us continue to offer our free lifesaving resources to those in need.

How You Can Participate

1. Choose Your Challenge

   - 24 KM Challenge: Run, walk, cycle, swim, or get creative with how you cover 24 kilometres. 

   - 24 Hour Challenge: Commit to an activity for 24 continuous hours. Whether it's a marathon gaming session, a dance-a-thon, or a creative endeavour, the choice is yours!

Why not invite others to join you and split the time, or host a 24-hour relay?

2. Fundraise 

   - Encourage friends, family, and your community to support your challenge by donating to Pieta. Every euro raised goes directly to supporting our free 24/7 crisis services. 

3. Spread the Word

   - Share your journey on social media using the hashtag #Pieta24 and help raise awareness about Pieta’s mission and the importance of mental health support.
