Buy a Bracelet – Help Support Adam Cook and the American Brain Tumor Association

Jamie, a David Cook fan just dropped me an email to tell me about an ongoing fan-organized fund raising project that benefits both the American Brain Tumor Association, and a special fund set up to help Adam and his family.

Here’s the deal. For $12, you can purchase a pretty purple bracelet printed with the words “David Cook Rocks.” Proceeds of the bracelet sale are split between the ABTA and the Cook family.

As many of you know, David’s brother Adam has been battling brain cancer for over a decade. The AC initials on David’s guitar is a tribute to his brother, who has spent the last few years fighting a very tough battle against the illness.

The project initially started as a way to raise funds to help send Adam Cook back to LA to see David compete in the Idol finale. (Adam attended the finale, sitting in the balcony away from the press and the cameras.) Now that the competition is over, the fund raiser continues.

    Lisa, I got an e-mail from Jamie yesterday after I’d asked about the bracelet I ordered a couple of weeks ago. Here was her reply:

    I initially underestimated the demand for the bracelets, and now I’ve had to place another order from the factory. I should be getting them in the next week, and they will be mailed out soon after I get them. Yours will be among the first to be sent out from the second batch, so I would expect it about the second week of June. You’ll definitely have it in time for the tour!

    Thanks for your support, and your patience!

    I lost both my parents to lung cancer and my mom had it spread to her brain. Cancer of any kind is devastating to the entire family and my heart goes out to anyone fighting this disease.

  • Good God.

    Find it in your heart to just give, without expectations.

    The cost won’t break anyone.

    Awesome, I’ve been wondering about these bracelets…my bf also has a brother who is battling inoperable brain cancer and also has a wife and two young kids, so DC’s family’s story has hit pretty close to home.
