He put it on Youtube and it was a success.Since it happenned, other artists began realising tribute versions of the video and SoulPancake released a documentary about Zach that calls "My Last Days".

  Since Zach and his family discovered that he had osteossarcoma, they started with the "Zach Sobiech Osteossarcoma Fund at Children's Cancer Research Fund".

 
  Zach died on May 20th in 2013 at the age of 18.
