    It's a walk/run in aid of suicide and self harm.it started In Dublin but is now almost country wide.basicly the walk/run starts in darkness and finishes at dawn as light is breaking.

    What exactly is the point? Is anyone who self-harms really going to stop because people decide to walk together in the dark?

    It raises a lot of money for Pieta House who do amazing work when it comes to suicide and self harm.

    It's not a valid one. It's idiotic. We have a suicide epidemic in this country and any cause raising awareness of such should be praised. Mental health is an afterthought in this country despite. The shame is truly on us.

    Topic Cleaned.

    Keep it civil and don't post stupid comments or get personal with others because you don't like what they say.

    What exactly is the point of anything? Daffodil Day is pointless too I suppose. I have read some idiotic things on here but your post is up there with the worst of them.

    The walk/run is about 6 months away. They mightn't have the process up and running yet.
