hroughout May, the team at Each&Other Ireland took on a challenge in support of mental health: to cover the distance of
30 marathons and raise vital funds for
Pieta Darkness into Light.With everyone in different locations, we ran, walked, cycled, and swam throughout the month, logging kilometres as we went, instead of gathering for the traditional sunrise walk.
Our goal was ambitious, a total of 1,260 kilometres, but we achieved it, with a few to spare!
Darkness Into Light is an annual event that raises funds and awareness for Pieta, an Irish charity providing free, professional support for people in distress or affected by suicide. Families and friends come together to honour loved ones and share hope for the future - with participants joining virtually from all over the world.
Each&Other team’s KMs were matched by incredible generosity from our team and friends, with over €1,000 raised. These donations will directly fund:
- 84 hours of helpline support, offering a critical listening ear in moments of crisis
- 22 crisis counselling sessions, providing urgent care to those in need
- 10 therapy sessions, helping individuals move toward long-term healing
“Darkness into light is fast becoming an annual tradition for Each&Other Ireland. It really brings us together as a team as we cheer each other on, tracking our KMs and raising funds. Delighted to help Pieta and families impacted by mental health and suicide in a meaningful way."
As a human-centred design consultancy, Each&Other is deeply committed to causes that align with its values, including mental wellbeing, accessibility, and community impact.
