Miley Cyrus has voiced her support for a suicide prevention group in a bid to secure them a $1m (£625,000) grant.
The 17-year-old filmed a video asking her fans to vote for the organisation To Write Love On Her Arms to help them win the Chase Community Giving program.
The group provides online support to people considering taking their lives.
"I don't think people really realise what a problem [suicide] is and how many people really struggle with depression and end up taking their lives for it, especially so many young people out there so I think it's really important we all get involved," Cyrus told WENN.
"The money will go towards the launch of a live online crisis network which will be really amazing for all these people that just need a family and community. I think it's an amazing cause and I really want everyone to go out there and get involved."

Bringing attention to a good cause.
considering her voice and music are likely to drive suicidal thoughts into folks heads it seems an average fit, seriously its just another zeleb spouting to big her self up at the expense of a cause.
She has more than enough to spare a million for this charity but like all the zelebs prefer their greed to others need.
You have no idea if she's given them money herself or not, do you?
In any case, she can probably do just as much good by supporting them publicly as she is doing.
I like Miley. She seems a very normal, good-hearted young lass.
But there is something i dont like about TWLOHA, they benefit enough from bands wearing their t-shirts and hoodies, i would have liked to have seen it going to another organisation that is maybe not as well known, but does a lot nehind the scenes includsing supporting families left behind aswell. But any help for this issue is certainly positive.
I may not overally care for her music, but if you think she is just a "zeleb", then you are talking nonsense, she is very famous, and very popular.

Oh forgive me clever one for daring to slight what is after all just a selfish money/fame hungry zeleb who only gets involved to raise personal profile and not that of the cause they claim to support, :rolleyes:
I may be an american but i do have good bullshit intuition when it comes to people like her, her attitude and support is about as genuine as Jordan's tits.:D
No, but if you order off the website, http://www.zambooie.com/twloha/
they do send international via Zambooie. I have ordered from them loads of times, and orders come about a week after ordering. I love TWLOHA, they do fantastic work for a really good cause.
They do post to the UK because I've ordered from them about going on 7 times now; 5 t shirts, and 2 wristbands. And $40 will be roughly about 24 pounds.
