To Write Love On Her Arms is an organization that provides hope and support for people involved in self harm, whether it be drugs, alcohol, or any other form of harming yourself. They are a non-profit, Christian organization. The original founder is Jamie Tworkowski. The current headquarters is in Orlando, Florida.
I found out about this amazing project through music, of all things. Their main weapon for achieving wide-spread awareness is through bands. There is a great number of bands involved and growing. Here are just some of the bands involved: Bayside, Bread Of Stone, UnderOath, Anberlin, Switchfoot, Showbreed, Copeland, Sleeping At Last, Thrice, Sullivan, Jimmy Eat World, Meg and Dia, Jonezetta, Paramore, and The Rocket Summer. Some of whom have worn the TWLOHA's T-shirts during performances and photo shoots, spreading the recognition even more. Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie have also been spotted wearing the T-shirts. The bands Alesana and Mayday Parade were also seen wearing TWLOHA's T-shirts this year during the Vans Warped Tour 2007.
