YourEkko helps deliver your love and support when others need it the most
A personal journey of love, loss, and the desire to help voices live on—one message at a time.
In 2020, Founder and CEO Zach Spring — pictured above — was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma brain cancer. He heard of staying positive and knew how positivity can subconsciously improve our physical and mental health, so he set a positive reminder for himself daily. More distressing than the thought of death was the idea of leaving loved ones behind to grieve with only old memories, photos, and videos to remember him by.
Over the next two years, Zach lost both his uncle and a close friend. Like many who experience grief, he recognized the deep desire to continue hearing from those we've lost. While some people leave letters, or set up Trusts and Wills, there was no simple service that allowed us to carry our presence forward — in the ways we connect today — with or without a monetary gift. So, YourEkko was born. Knowing when to start message delivery is essential and so is being positive, so an adjustable outreach reminder to 'Survive and Thrive' accomplishes both essential needs!
Inspired by his cancer journey, Zach partnered with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, where he received treatment in 2020, to help support their vision of a cancer-free world. For every Encore plan purchased, YourEkko donates $1 and contributes any unclaimed monetary gifts intended for Recipients.
