Laura Sobiech

Laura Sobiech is a writer and advocate and the mother of Zach Sobiech, whose song "Clouds," written as he was dying of osteosarcoma at 18, reached millions of people and raised substantial funds for childhood cancer research. She is the author of Fly a Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom's Small Prayer in a Big Way, which became the basis for the Disney+ film Clouds.

She leads the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund and speaks about faith, grief and what it means to help a child face the end of life with purpose.
