American Idol Tragedy

Remeber David Cook? Duh! He's a great artist. (BUT) As much as we watch American idol for the fan-“fair” race to success, last year’s American Idol winner, David Cook, took on a race of his own in which he excelled through his personal tragedy and came out as a hero to many. On Sunday Morning, May 3rd, David Cook served as grand marshal of Washington, D.C’s 12 annual Race for Hope 5k, despite the death of his older brother, Adam Cook the day before. Adam passed away at age 37 after battling with a brain tumor. Cook’s team was the leading fundraiser for the event, raising over $95,000.00.

I wish David Cook and his family peace, comfort and perseverance in this time. Check out David’s full speech at the Annual Race for Hope on You Tube.
