For the first time ever, schools across Newry, the Mournes and south Armagh will come together in an Olympic torch relay to raise awareness of suicide support services.
Groups of 25 students and teachers from 13 schools will cover more than 11 miles on the streets of Newry this morning.
The relay will finish at the town hall at lunch time.
Eamon Murphy from charity PIPS Newry and Mourne says there will be a few familiar faces along the route:
Violence against women a particularly difficult issue in NI – Naomi Long
Natalie McNally’s partner found guilty of her murder
Man remains in custody over murder of Amy Doherty
Jury told to consider ‘different strands’ of evidence in Natalie McNally murder case
Civil case taken by IRA victims ‘verged on show trial’, Gerry Adams says
