"It really struck me when I heard about the news of Cook's brother [Adam]. I know they had been struggling with it for awhile, so my heart really goes out to them," Archuleta said in a statement to ET. "It's so admirable the way he's handling it though, and it's amazing to see him there as an example for millions of other people who have also been affected the same way he and his family have. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers, and hope the Cook family stays strong."
Cook announced the sad news Sunday at the Race for Hope 5K fund-raising race in Washington D.C. He said he had lost his 37-year-old brother the previous day, but was still proud to attend the event, which is held as a way to fight brain tumors. "I lost one today," he told the crowd, "but I gained 9,000 -- and I will be here every year that they will have me."
