7.3 million euro has been raised by Darkness Into Light, for the suicide prevention charity Pieta House.

143-thousand people took part in the walk in the early hours of last Saturday morning.

Organisers have thanked people who got involved.

That's despite the frankly shocking wet and windy weather on the day!.

However, tens of thousands of people across the country and around the world to support the event.

Poor Weather But People Still Went Out

Pieta's Fundraising and advocacy manager is Tom McEvoy.

He says it was a great success despite the pandemic putting a stop to their usual gathering:

"People chose to do their challenge, even though the weather was really inclement."

"We got lots and lots of people to enjoy a sunrise... even if it was behind the clouds!"
