To Write Love on Her Arms


To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

Hervey Bay will be hosting an awareness day
September 25th
10.30am - 2.30pm
Gatakers Bay (play area)

What do I have to do?
Quite simply; write the word LOVE on your arm. That is all we ask of you.
You can either have it pre-written or pay a gold coin donation to have an artist pop it on your blank canvus.

Two local Photographers have banned together to organise this day Nicky Jackson from Nicky Jackson Photography and Tegan Fowler from Fowler Photography. These two gals will be running around taking photos on the day, and would like to also organise an mass community group photo with everyones arms in the air showing their LOVE.

There are also talks with another amazing lady (name withheld) inregards to making a book sharing stories and photographs from local women who have overcome obstacles, who have overcome illness, tragedy etc showing their strength and the light at the end of their darkness. The book aims to be very inspiring ..... and possibly healing for women. (more info to come soon)

Lots of local Businesses will be donating their time and items for an auction. All money raised at the auction will go to charity. Its about spreading a cause world wide.. helping people understand that these things happen to everyday people like ourseleves.. this is our way of giving back to those that have helped us through so much xx
