American Idol David Cook took time out of his busy schedule to write about his experience with the Stand Up 2 Cancer event Friday night. The star-studded telethon raised money to fight cancer during a broadcast aired simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS.

Cook has a brother, Adam, fighting cancer. He sports Adam’s initials on his guitar. And, he teared up following an American Idol performance when Adam was in the audience.

Many David Cook fans have also taken up his fight against cancer. And, Cook thanked them for participating in Friday’s telethon.

He wrote, “Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for all the support you’ve shown with this. It means the world to me and I’m glad to see everyone rally up.” Cook went on to say “Let’s do what we can to make sure that it’s not just about tonight, but everyday.“

Cook also posted video of his recent visit to Kansas City and Blue Springs, Missouri on his official web site. The video shows the unveiling of a mural to honor Blue Springs native David Cook, and Cook’s tearful reaction.
