On the 6th of May 2017 Glenamaddy held its first Darkness Into Light Walk in aid of Pieta House. At 4.15 a.m., after a letter was read by Fr.Mooney at the school, over 650 people set off for the 5k run/walk in a flood of yellow t-shirts. A big crowd returned to the school after for refreshments although many rushed back to their beds…
The event was a major success and there was a great buzz even in the early hours of the morning. The TY’s helped to promote the event through posters and word of mouth. They also helped on the day, singing as people arrived and tidying up afterwards. Thanks to everybody who helped out for this good cause. Darkness Into Light will undoubtedly be in Glenamaddy for many years to come.
