2016-fundraiser-jon-murphyIn support of Jonathan Murphy

Jonathan, son of Barbara (Dublin) and Ray (Galway) Murphy, building manager of The Avery, 100 Riverside Boulevard and member of the Emerald Guild, has been on a roller coaster ride with generalized epilepsy since he was diagnosed at 8 years old. Taking a further blow in 2015 when through genetic testing he was diagnosed with Unverricht-Lumndborg disease, an inherited form of progressive myoclonus epilepsy. Having travelled to Melbourne, Australia in March of this year to be seen by one of the leading consultants in this field, Jonathan now awaits Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery to get the seizures under control.

In spite of all his ailments Jonathan has thrived; accepted to Dean College, MA to pursue his passion by studying Sport Management and giving back to his community with active involvement in scouts, receiving the honor of Eagle Scout this June.

MAY 7, 2016 – Darkness into Light 5k Walk/Run

Darkness into Light 2016

Don’t forget to register for Pieta House’s second annual Darkness into Light 5k walk/run: Gaelic park & Corona Park/Flushing Meadows.

Darkness into Light has become an iconic walk that started in Dublin, Ireland and has now turned into a global response. This symbolic 5k walk begins at 4am – while it is still dark and finishes just as the dawn is rising. This reflects the service we offer in Pieta House, we help people who are distressed or in crisis – and bring them from their darkness into the light. This wonderful, unique experience is for everyone.. men, women and children and makes a very strong statement – firstly that we need to walk together in the fight against suicide and secondly it offers us an opportunity to walk for a loved one who has died by suicide and allow us the beginning of an healing process.
