Here Comes The Light

South Beach SAT7MAY22 Liz Cusack

t was a beautiful Greystones morning in more ways than one today.

The sun broke through, right on cue, at 5.39am.

And there to greet it was an army of people, there to show their support for those who had gone too soon, and those struggling to find a way forward.

Yep, Darkness Into Light 2022 was something to behold, a community coming together as one to prove that you’ve always got someone to lean on. And that you’re not alone.

It was echoed all across the country, of course, this annual walk having grown from 400 people gathering together for the sunrise back in 2009 to over 200,000 in recent years.

Helping Greystonians get up that little bit earlier than usual were the Greystones Fire Station, who joined the seafront walk, plus the mighty Vick and Iraida, opening Café Gourmet at 5am for that much-needed dawn coffee jolt. The couple also donated all proceeds from 5am to 7am to Pieta.

Well done to everyone involved, and a big thank you to Liz Cusack for capturing the magic…
