David wrote the song "Permanent" about his brother's struggle with cancer on his self-titled album. Part of the lyrics says "I know he's living in hell every single day//And so I ask "Oh God is there some way for me to take his place?" You can listen to the incredible song above.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cook family. May Adam rest in peace.

About the Race for Hope, David's goal was to reach $75,000 to helps raise funds for brain tumor research and support services programs sponsored by the National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure and in the end he was able to achieve over $100,000!
