Pieta House - Rowing from Darkness into Light
Donation protected
With the annual Darkness into Light event currently postponed due to the Covid 19 restrictions, funding is hugely impacted.
I wanted to help raise some much needed funds for Pieta House , particularly at a testing time like this when everyone's mental health is affected to varying degrees.
I will be rowing a half marathon (at home on my rower) starting at 5am May 9th through sunrise when the Darkness into Light events would normally occur. I won't find it easy , despite my background in fitness, it will be challenging but I will be spurred on by your support.
Any donation is valuable. I understand there are a lot of fundraising campaigns on the go currently but every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.
At a time of job losses, grief and restrictions, hope and help are a vital resource for many and with your support we can keep that alive.
Once you choose hope anything is possible ~ Christopher Reeve
I have started off the donations, please donate and help share the message or my posts to raise awareness through your own contacts.
Thank you so much ,
