UPDATE: David Cook’s team just surpassed 140K! Plus, once again the David Cook team were the #1 fundraisers! Congrats! The Race for Hope raised 2.3M dollars to help fight brain cancer.

David Cook is running today in the 13th Annual Race for Hope in Washington DC, raising funds to battle brain cancer. More info HERE. David’s Race Page HERE.

David ran in the race last year. Sadly the morning of the race, his brother Adam, who had been battling cancer for years, succumbed to the disease.

David’s teams, so far, have raised over 139K for cancer research.

Go David!
