Dancing With the Stars: Dancers Attended the AMA Awards
Even hard working dancers have to have an evening away from the dance floor now and then. Check out these photos of Julianne Hough, Derek Hough & Helio Castroneves at the American Music Awards on November 18.

I found this on the Dancing with the Stars forum.

I have hesitated to post this, but in light of several comments about Helio being phony and a fake, here goes.
My 8 year old son died last month after a 4 year battle with cancer. One of his big dreams was to meet Helio, so I wrote Helio a letter, telling him we would be attending one of his races this last season. Helio wrote me back HIMSELF, in his own hand, saying he would be honored to meet my son.
When we got to the garage area, it was very crowded. We waited in line to get Helio’s autograph. When Helio saw me and my son, he said, “Are you (my name)?” When I said yes, he apologized to the fans waiting and said he would return shortly. He then came to me and my son, and pushed my son’s wheelchair over to his car. He lifted him out of his wheelchair and put him in his car.
I wish you could have seen the look on my son’s face. Helio spent 20 minutes with us, and we left with several souvenirs: a t-shirt, a ballcap, and several signed photos for my son and his friends. Helio was choked up when he told us goodbye.
THAT’S the kind of man Helio Castroneves is. The real deal. Caring, compassionate and kind. This is not meant to insult or criticize any of the other dancers. Just wanted to share my experience with Helio.

i am not surprised with the compassion that Helio has for other people, he has that unique spirit of decency. I hope to soon read where he returns to his life after dancing to marry Ali and continue on with reality. The show is an imaginary life that could swallow a person, look @ some of ther other pro dancers that are walking a tighrope…you can only drink so much
