Stunning overhead video captures Athy Darkness Into Light walk in all its beauty

Darkness Into Light walks took place all over the world on Saturday morning as more than 120,000 people worldwide helped to raise awareness for Suicide Prevention and Pieta House.

There were runs in Naas, Maynooth and Athy that begin in the early hours of Saturday morning, with most of them kicking off at around 4.15am in Ireland.

People started gathering for the Athy run shortly after 3am, with over 2,000 eventually taking part in the colourful early morning exercise.

The video below shows stunning coverage from overhead of the five kilometre walk in Athy as the participants light up the banks of the river Barrow.
