If you like Zach's music, you can buy his album on iTunes here. It's $5.99 and the proceeds go to a research fund set up on his behalf. Or you can donate money to the research fund directly here.
I am not affiliated in any way with Zach Sobiech, his family, iTunes or the Children's Cancer Research Fund. I just really want to share this extraordinary story of a young man who rose above circumstances to be a shining example to all of us.
With love and gratitude,
Tamera
Update from Upworthy:
Hey, everyone —
Zach Sobiech died last week. He left behind one of the most moving stories we've ever heard. We posted it on our site. And what's happened since then has blown all of our minds.
- Millions of people around the world have Liked Zach's story and shared it with their friends.
- Browsers have translated it into 21 languages (though apparently, "Wondtacular" doesn't have a translation).
- One of Zach's original recordings rose to the #1 slot on iTunes (the first time a song by an independent artist did so) and debuted on the Billboard Top 100 as the #1 digital track in the "Rock" category.
- And folks have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the research fund set up on his behalf to help change the fates of other kids suffering from cancer.
Sharing something on the Internet can help change the world. And that, in our opinion, is pretty wondtacular.
