YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

We exist to bring hope, healing, and connection to those navigating life’s darkest moments. At Love Surrounds You, we believe true prevention begins long before crisis — by strengthening mental health, emotional awareness, and community connection.

Through education, light therapy, and heart-centered support, we create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and supported — where healing replaces isolation, and purpose replaces pain. Together, we rise from darkness to light.

Love is not a distraction. It is an enhancement to what is true. Love is existence.”                                                                    - Kristen Tenpenny

Love Surrounds You™ was born out of heartbreak — and reborn through purpose. After losing my little sister Kristen on April 2, 2019, I knew her message couldn’t end there. She signed every letter with “Love Surrounds You.” Those three words became a movement — one that transforms grief into growth and awareness into action.

Today, Love Surrounds You™ is more than a memorial — it’s a mission of prevention through healing. We believe that when people are supported, seen, and connected, they don’t have to reach the point of crisis. Through Ride Out of the Darkness, healing programs, retreats, and community support groups, we empower veterans, families, and everyday people to rise from pain to purpose.

We don’t just raise awareness — we build lives filled with light, love, and meaning. Together, we ride, we heal, and we remind the world that no one has to face their darkness alone.

WHAT IS RIDE OUT OF THE DARKNESS?

Ride Out of the Darkness is more than a ride — it’s a nationwide movement of remembrance, resilience, and rebirth.

What began as a tribute to those we’ve lost has grown into a nationwide force for healing, hope, and human connection. Each year, bikers, Jeep and Bronco clubs, sports car enthusiasts, veterans, and families unite to ride together — turning pain into purpose and awareness into action.

Through our rides, rallies, and community gatherings, we create spaces where no one feels alone in their struggle. Together, we raise the vibration of entire cities — not just talking about mental health, but living the solution through unity, love, and purpose.

It’s more than just a journey — it’s a living symbol of what happens when people come together to heal and be seen. Riders meet at Harley-Davidson dealerships and community hubs, spreading awareness, hope, and brotherhood at every stop.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Amanda Burns is the visionary behind Love Surrounds You — a movement that transforms grief into growth and awareness into action. A mental-health advocate, spiritual educator, and founder of the national Ride Out of the Darkness movement, Amanda is dedicated to helping people rise from their darkest moments into light, purpose, and connection.

After losing her sister Kristen in 2019, Amanda turned heartbreak into a mission — to show the world that healing and prevention begin with love, community, and self-discovery. Through her leadership, Love Surrounds You™ has become a bridge between the seen and unseen — where mental health meets consciousness, and remembrance becomes rebirth.

Today, she empowers veterans, families, and individuals across the nation through events, education, light-therapy programs, and her signature movement, Ride Out of the Darkness. Her vision is clear: “When we choose love and healing, we change not only our own story — we change the world.”
