Performers included Mat Kearney, Aaron Gillespie of Underoath/the Almost, Bryce Avary of the Rocket Summer, Stephen Christian of Anberlin, Aaron Marsh of Copeland and more.

As an encore at the event, Avary, Gillespie and many more took the stage to play “Stand By Me,” the Ben E. King classic.

If you struggle with self-injury, you are not “a cutter”. You are a person. You are not only your pain. You are not only wounds and scars. You are also better things. You are possibility and promise, hope and healing, daydreams, favorite books and favorite songs. You are the people that you love and the people who love you. You are hope and change and things worth fighting for. This is all your story and your story isn’t over.
