He Died Too Young. So All His Friends Got Together To Make Sure Future Generations Of Kids Don’t.

Back in May 2013, my life changed forever. A fan wrote to let me know that a teenage musician named Zach Sobiech, who I had written about earlier in the year, had just passed away from a rare cancer. Zach had written a song called “Clouds” about coming to terms with his imminent death. Cancer…

Here’s the thing about rare cancers like osteosarcoma, which Zach died from. Because it’s so rare, research studies often are chronically underfunded and receive much less in donations. The Children’s Cancer Research Fund, which you should totally Like on Facebook, needs every opportunity it can get to really crack this disease. Is there any way you could do me a favor and donate to their research fund in Zach’s name? It’s totally up to you, but I’d owe you a billion.

And maybe you could share this? Then I’d owe you a trillion.


BONUS: You can also buy this song on iTunes! The song is available world wide and Rock the Cause Records is donating 100% of the net to Zach’s Osteocarcoma Fund.

UPDATE: You guys are amazing. We’ve raised over $5,000 already. If you want to contribute still, click here.
