Fundraising bid for communities affected by suicide

HUNDREDS are expected to walk, or run, into the dawn at the University of Limerick Campus on May 8 in an expression of hope and support for local communities affected by suicide.

The event is being organised to raise funds for Pieta House, Ireland’s only centre for the prevention of suicide and self-harm.

Studies have found that Limerick has the highest rate in the country for self-harm among males and females aged 15 to 19.
