The fourth t-shirt of the Always Keep Fighting campaign, which benefits non-profit organization To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), will be released on November 4.
Television star and founder of the Always Keep Fighting campaign, Jared Padalecki, will make an announcement revealing the most recent shirt design on his Facebook page this Wednesday.
This 12 day holiday campaign will end on November 18 and can be purchased through Represent.com.
Padalecki began this campaign in March of this year after being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety. He was inspired to start the t-shirt campaign by his friend and fellow actor, Stephen Amell, who has raised money for F--- Cancer through his own t-shirt campaign. With this campaign Padalecki hopes to raise awareness of depression and other mental illnesses and inspire people not to give up.
"I say constantly that there’s no shame in dealing with these things. There’s no shame in having to fight every day, but fighting every day, and presumably, if you’re still alive to hear these words or read this interview, then you are winning your war. You’re here," Padalecki stated in an interview with Variety. "You might not win every battle. There are going to be some really tough days. There might be several tough times in any given single day, but hopefully, this will help somebody to think, 'This isn’t easy; it is a fight, but I’m going to keep fighting,' and that’s why we did this shirt."Part of the proceeds from the shirt will go to To Write Love On Her Arms. TWLOHA is a non-profit organization that seeks to bring hope to those struggling with addiction, depression, self-harm, PTSD and other mental illnesses. One of their main goals is to connect treatment and recovery to the people who need it. They continue to spread awareness through books, tours, t-shirts and social media.
