ZACH’S STORY
• Zachary Lederer battled brain cancer twice in his short life, once at
  the age of 11, and again at the age of 18 when his brain tumor
  returned in 2011. At the time, Lederer was a student at the University
  of Maryland who served as the Student Manager of the Terps men’s
  basketball team.

• After brain surgery in 2012, Lederer asked his father to photograph
  him striking a strongman pose in his hospital bed to show his friends
  and family he was strong and ready to win his fight against cancer.
  That photo went viral, creating the national phenomenon of
  “Zaching,” a sign of strength, courage, determination and hope.

• The image of Lederer’s strongman pose inspired supporters to share
  their own “Zaching” photos - including celebrities like Lil Wayne,          “I want the world to be a better place
  Torrey Smith and Jay Leno - in solidarity and to bring hope to others       because I was here.” – Zachary Lederer
  affected by this terrible disease.

• While Lederer was in and out of the hospital, he noticed the struggles of other patients who did not have the resources he
  was lucky enough to have – family to spend time with, a clean and warm house to go home to, etc. Through these
  observations, Lederer developed the mission for his nonprofit organization and became determined to help others in his
  situation.

• Lederer’s second battle with brain cancer continued for two years. Zachary passed away on March 11, 2014, after
  founding the Zaching Against Cancer Foundation.
