YourEkko — born of a survivor's experience — is another way to support someone with personalized scheduled messages called “Ekkos”. Ekkos deliver weekly, monthly, or a time in the future so that you can be there, more. Check out the Ideas section for inspiration today!

A personal journey of love, loss, and the desire to help voices live on—one message at a time.
In late 2019, right before COVID, Founder and CEO Zach Spring—pictured above—was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma brain cancer. During that time, he discovered how meaningful small, positive thoughts could be. A simple daily reminder helped him focus on the present and stay connected to hope by remembering that each day still held moments and memories worth embracing.
YourEkko gives people a way to support more: scheduling love, encouragement, memories, photos, videos, and voice messages to someone facing cancer or other difficult times with “Support Ekkos". Reminders can provide ongoing support during the journey, while Delayed delivery can deliver thoughtful messages in the future. These tools can help us help loved ones more consistently throughout their journey so that they're not alone — but given how cancer impacts everyone, Recipients/patients can always opt out.
By 2022, Zach lost both his uncle and a close friend. Like many people who experience grief, he understood the need to hear from those we have lost—not only through old memories, but through messages that still feel personal and connected to the way we communicate today.
Inspired by his own 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 support their vision of a cancer-free world. For every "Care Package” purchased, YourEkko donates a portion of the proceeds to support the OSUCCC–James.

Upon Ekko creation today, a Recipient will receive a text message from 844-996-4241 (save this number!) If you choose, you can include a link to preview the Ekko. Ekko delivery happens once confirmed that you are at rest. Delivery includes a unique code and link to view the Ekko after accepting Terms and Conditions.
One-time Ekkos can be scheduled for a future date or sent 72 hours after a departure is confirmed. You can choose any date from 45 days to 3 years after creation. Attachments up to 50 MB can be included too.
Recurring Ekkos begin sending 72 hours after a departure is confirmed at 12pm EST and repeat weekly, monthly, or yearly for up to 3 years.
That will be great news! We actually encourage setting One-time Ekko dates in the future for those battling cancer or the like. Our founder believes focusing on end goals and celebrating when they arrive. So if your scheduled One-time Ekko date approaches, just cancel it! 30 days and 15 days prior to that One-time Ekko date, YourEkko will remind you and on the date, your Trusted Contact/Recipients will be contacted.
Our team is here to help clarify any questions you may have about our terms and conditions. We believe in transparency and want you to feel confident about using YourEkko.
