Armoy GAC and local family host Dawn Walk to remember those lost to suicide and raise funds for mental health charity ALPS

The Dawn Walk “Darkness Into Light” will take place in the grounds of Glenrovers GAC at 4.30am on Saturday, May 9, to remember those lost to suicide.

In a post on its Facebook page, Glenrovers described the event as a “morning for our community to come together, show support, and raise awareness. Standing together to support one another and remind people they’re never alone”.

The event is hosted by the club and the Jamison family and the Facebook post continued: “In July 2025, our family and community experienced an unimaginable loss. We lost a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, and a friend. This walk is held in memory of Martin Jamison — but it’s about something bigger than one story.

"It’s about raising awareness. It’s about reminding people that help is out there. And it’s about making sure no one ever feels they have to face their darkest moments alone.

"It’s okay not to be okay. Every single person goes through difficult times – grief, loss, depression, or struggles we may never fully see. But even in the darkest places, there is always light. Sometimes, we just need someone to help us find it.

"That’s why we are coming together for the Dawn Walk “Darkness Into Light” in the grounds of Glenrovers GAC, Armoy - a morning of hope, connection, and support.

"Everyone is welcome - no matter your background or walk of life. Come walk with us. Come stand together. Come be part of something that could help save a life.

"We kindly ask you to donate – with all money raised going directly into the account of ALPS, supporting the vital work they do.”
