Not Such A Meanie! Simon Cowell Donates Money To Child With Cancer

He may be the toughest American Idol judge with a notorious mean streak, but Simon Cowell is generous when it means the most.

The British music mogul donated £100,000 for 18-month-old Sophie Atay to receive emergency treatment in New York City for a rare form of neuroblastoma.

Apparently, Sophie and her family had exhausted all the resources available to them in the UK and if she is able to receive treatment from the specialists in New York, her chances of survival shoot up from 20 percent to 90 percent!

X Factor winner Alexandra Burke told Simon about their situation and he happily donated the money for Sophie's cause.

What an amazing gift!

We hope little Sophie gets well soon!
