LOVE SURROUNDS YOU™

From Darkness to Light—Together We Heal.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

“We exist to provide hope, support, and resources for those struggling with mental health challenges and to raise awareness about suicide prevention. Through education, advocacy, and compassionate care, we strive to create a community where no one faces their struggles alone and everyone feels valued and heard.”

Love Surrounds You™ was born out of heartbreak—and transformed into a mission of healing, hope, and purpose. After losing my little sister Kristen to suicide on April 2, 2019, I knew her light and message couldn’t end there. Kristen used to sign everything with “Love Surrounds You.” Those three words became our anchor.

Today, Love Surrounds You™ is more than a memorial—it’s a movement. We exist to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention while building real community, especially for veterans, families, and those silently suffering. Through rides, retreats, storytelling, and support resources, we’re here to remind every soul: you are never truly alone.

We ride for those who can’t. We speak for those who feel voiceless. We shine love into the darkest places—together.

The poster features illustrations of vintage cars, a motorcycle, and a bridge in bright purple, blue, and white colors. The background of the poster is black and is filled with handwritten messages from visitors.

Ride Out of the Darkness is a nationwide movement that combines motorcycle culture with mental health awareness and suicide prevention. What started as a tribute to those we’ve lost has become a powerful force for healing, connection, and hope—especially for veterans, families, and communities affected by suicide.

Through organized rides, rallies, and community events, we raise awareness, honor lives, and create safe spaces where no one feels alone in their pain.
