OVER 1,600 people registered to take part in Darkness Into Light events in Offaly on Saturday morning last.
A total of €45,000 has so far been raised by participants to aid the Pieta House suicide prevention and awareness charity.
Due to Covid restrictions participants had to complete their walks, runs or hikes in their own areas explained the Chairman of the Tullamore Darkness Into Light committee, Jason Rabbette.
Mr Rabettee extended thanks to all those who took part in the event and to the members of his hard-working committee.
“The sunrise walk, cycle, run or hike commenced at 5am on Saturday with people from all over the county participating,” he added.
