Happy Birthday, David Cook!

America's seventh Idol, David Cook, turned 29 on December 20th. In honor of David’s 29th birthday today, fans like you donated to his Crowdrise Mozilla Firefox Challenge, which is raising funds for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure and could win his ABC2 I LA Marathon Fundraising team an additional $25,000! Fans also successfully trended #WeBelieve to No. 1 world wide! Donations today alone exceeded $16,000, bringing total team donations to more than $31,000!
