In today's 72nd episode of the show, we are returning to a special occasion that takes place every year and gets us out of bed even earlier than usual.
Darkness into Light is a coming together of people from all walks of life and for thousands of very personal reasons to walk into the dawn and raise money for Pieta House.
Electric Ireland are the long term sponsors of the event and we sat down this week with Executive Director Pat Fenlon
We talk about why they have been involved for so long, what the motivation is for keeping it going and what we need to know to get ready for the morning of May 11th.

In today's 71st episode of the Sport for Business Podcast we are kicking off our 2024 Series on Leadership.
In this we will speak to those who have risen to the top of their sporting organisations and for whom the buck stops at their desk.
It is our privilege to chat with Brian Molloy, elected in recent weeks as the first ever male President of the Camogie Association.
The Galway native got into the sport through daughters, coaching them, ferrying them, supporting them and getting gradually brought in to the fold of club, county province and now national level sport.
Over the next 45 minutes, we talk about leadership, inside and outside the sport; about the burden lightly worn of taking the sport into the hopefully final stages of full integration with the GAA and Ladies Gaelic Football Association, but without losing the essence of what makes Camogie special and which it has nurtured over a 120-year history.
We also touch on Lord of the Rings, cookery, life skills and a final message on what he considers to be at the heart of sporting leadership.
