GAA clubs get moving to support Pieta House

St Vincent’s player and Defence Forces member Lorna Coffey uses her training to crawl under netting alongside Darren Coyle-Garde of Pieta House. The club is urging members to join a charity appeal that will see them ‘walk, run, jog, or crawl the distance to her’ in Lebanon in aid of Pieta House and Mná Feasa. Picture: Larry Cummins

GAA clubs are stepping up to help suicide charity Pieta House as it faces an unprecedented funding crisis.

Members of St Finbarr’s GAA club on the southside of Cork City are planning a socially distanced million-step fundraiser to help bridge the €6.5m shortfall caused by the cancellation of the charity’s flagship annual Darkness Into Light (DIL) fundraiser next weekend.
