Last month, To Write Love On Her Arms won a free, full-page color ad in the USA TODAY. Well, It was printed today and here it is. I actually went out and bought a copy of the newspaper just so I could have a copy. Well, I was so touched by the ad that it's now posted on the side of the shelves on my desk, facing my bed. It's going to be a daily reminder that my life is worth fighting for. I'm not alone. Hope is real. Help is real. My story is important.
Here's a reflection from the founder of TWLOHA, Jamie Tworkowski:
Last month, your support on Twitter won us a free full-color, full-page ad in USA TODAY. Today, millions of Americans are waking up to that ad. Beyond introducing the message and mission of TWLOHA, the ad is an attempt to move and encourage people. We wrote a note to America - especially Americans facing difficult circumstances. We talked about some things that people tend not to talk about, because we believe that's important, because silence fuels stigma.
We hope you'll pick up a copy of the paper today. We hope you'll join us in celebrating this moment. More than anything, we hope the ad sparks conversations that move people toward hope and help.
From all of us at TWLOHA, thank you for your support. Thanks for being part of this surprising story.
Peace to you today.
Jamie
