Sky to light up in memory of loved ones
Posted online: Sep 6th, 2011
The night sky above Inishowen will light up this weekend as the peninsula remembers loved ones who have died through suicide.
Chinese lanterns will be released as the country takes part in World Suicide Prevention Day. Proceeds from the sale of the lanterns will go to the Buncrana Community Combatting Suicide group.
You can support this special initiative by releasing a lantern from your home or wherever you are at 10.00pm on Saturday. Or, join with others for refreshments at the Coffee Cup in Buncrana at 8.45pm before walking down to release the lanterns at the Stone Jug.
BCCS chairperson Breda Friel said: “The lantern release is a beautiful and fitting memorial to loved ones we have lost and a reminder to our whole community that there is hope as we stand together and support one another. We are grateful for sponsorship from the Coffee Cup and SuperValu Buncrana for the lantern release.”
