MARCHING FOR A CAUSE

On the �th of May ����, join the rest of the world in walking together to raise money and awareness for the global fight against suicide and self-harm. MARCHING FOR A CAUSE

Whatever your age or situation, walk with us, talk with us, so that together we can create a world where suicide, self-harm and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care and acceptance.

Darkness Into Light was created in Dublin, Ireland in 2009 where 400 people set off to walk 5km to raise awareness in the global fight against suicide and self-harm. Each year the walk provides an opportunity for people to connect with their local community and to show their support for those who have been bereaved by suicide. Their team of volunteers, in Ireland and overseas, have returned year after year to help make the experience a rewarding one and to help us all continue to raise awareness in the global fight against suicide and self-harm. In 2019 over 200,000 people took part in 150 locations, in 16 countries across 5 continents. Since Darkness Into Light began, Their dedicated supporters have helped them raise almost ¤25 million, which has enabled them to keep their doors and 24/7 helpline open for people in crisis, free of charge. The Healthy Minds Algarve Association is now bringing this event to the Algarve for the first time and they intend to invest the money raised into local mental health services and clinics for children and adults across the Algarve. The 5km walk will take place on Saturday 9th May 2020 at 5am departing from The Shack Lake Bar, Quinta do Lago – where everyone will walk into the sunrise at the same time.
