David Cook And Friends Race Towards A Cure At The LA Marathon

We all know American Idol champion David Cook is the real deal!  When David sets a goal - whether it's completing his first marathon or raising $100,000 for brain cancer research - he and his fans go above and beyond to guarantee success.  Thanks to David for his leadership and congratulations to him and all the devoted ABC² supporters who ran and completed the 2012 Honda LA Marathon on March 18th!  ABC²'s Race Towards A Cure team raised more than $112,000 to fund cutting-edge brain tumor research.

David rolled out his ambitious fundraising efforts on Crowdrise.com, the LA Marathon's official fundraising platform launched by actor/activist Edward Norton.  The campaign began in December 2011 with the Mozilla Firefox Charity Challenge.  David's team raised over $40,000 in that effort alone.  The momentum continued to build as new supporters joined David's cause.  Los Angeles radio DJ Lisa Foxx, at 104.3MyFM, formed her own Race Towards A Cure team, ran the LA Marathon Charity Relay and hosted a series of radio interviews with David to raise awareness. 

The day before the marathon, ABC² hosted a luncheon for the Race Towards A Cure team to thank them personally for their commitment to a brain cancer cure.  All had a great time for a great cause!
