Lindsey Rose's Hero

You've seen David Cook wearing an orange bracelet on his wrist every week since he made it to the Top 12 on American Idol. It's been talked about quite a bit...a little girl named Lindsey Rose is one of his biggest fans...and she has leukemia. Her family and friends all wear these orange bracelets, with the words "Do What You Gotta Do" imprinted on them. Her Dad works for a Fox news affiliate, and got to interview David when he made it to the Top 12. They talked briefly about Lindsey Rose as part of it, and David called her to brighten her day. Then he asked for one of the bracelets, and told her to watch for it on TV.

And he has kept his end of the deal. He wears it all the time. If David is wearing something with longer sleeves that might hide the bracelet from Lindsey Rose's view, he moves it down to his hand so that she will be able to see it. It is a testament to his huge heart.

Lindsey Rose's father was able to interview David again last night after he won...like Lindsey Rose predicted he would. You can watch the interview here, but be prepared...you'll need tissues.
