Job done ! This morning just before 3am, i set off in the driving wind and rain to walk 24 km from Darkness Into Light. In close to 3.5 hours, I completed the distance raising nearly 7000 euro for Pieta House in the process. I joined thousands of people from around the globe who have so far raised 6 million euro for Pieta House. Everyone who did the walk, did so for their own reasons and I am no different. It is a tough day for most people including me but the sore legs are worth it. I cannot thank you all enough for your amazing generosity in the last week every cent counts and will really make a difference. Thank you

1 day to go - This time tomorrow, i should nearly have the legs walked off myself but all for the great cause that is Pieta House. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, you generosity is a testament to you :)

2 days to go and close to 6000 euros raised so far for Pieta House, will we reach 6500 ?, watch this space. As always my thoughts will also be with those who will also do DIL for their own reasons.

3 days to go. Thanks to my employer Roadbridge for getting behind this and sharing through their social media platforms. More donations today, thanks again everyone !

5 days to go - Thanks to everyone who has donated already, your donations will really make a difference. The weather for Saturday is not looking good so far but out ill be going regardless :)

6 days to go - New trainers ordered, cant beat Brooks for good threads. My chosen route is near finalised. Need to start stretching out left hamstring and calves now !. Luckily my wife is a pharmacist, taking a magnesium supplement in advance so hopefully no cramping.

7 days to go ! just over 1000 euro raised in the last 24 hours. Already planning a route to achieve the 24km before daylight :)

8 days to go. Your generosity is unreal, close to 2000 raised so far. Lets keep it going. Fact: Since Darkness Into Light began, supporters have helped raise almost €29 million, which has enabled Pieta House to keep its doors and their 24/7 helpline open for people in crisis, free of charge

9 days to go and already a lot of people have donated to Pieta House. Did you know that talking about suicide does not make it more likely to happen?

10 days to go !
