Our condolences go out to David Cook, who lost his brother, Adam, to brain cancer on Saturday. Cook was the winner of American Idol last season, and fans of the show know that his brother was a source of inspiration for him. At one point in the competition, Cook even broke down while talking about him on stage. Adam could be seen in the front row a time or two, which undoubtedly was a special moment for both brothers.
Cook told the crowd at the 12th Annual Race for Hope in Washington, D.C., on Sunday that his brother had passed the day before. He said, “I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else right now.” Cook, along with his team, helped raise $98,000 for brain cancer research.

Watch this story of a mother’s love and help me give the best Mother’s Gift imaginable to my wife
I’m sorry to barge on into your web community and just start talking, but I’m on a mission to give my wife, Amy, an amazing Mother’s Day gift.
You can watch the video here: http://www.theboobfund.com
My mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant with my wife and chose to have the baby rather than start chemo. She died one year later, the day after Mother’s Day.
This Mother’s Day will be my wife’s first (my daughter is 5 weeks old!) and I want to honor Amy’s mom. Just watch the video and spread it around. If you can’t give to the cause, I just want as many people as possible to hear her story!
Thanks for the help!
