Little Jack Hoffman an inspiration to Nebraska football

[phins_4_ever]

Not sure where to put this so I am 'spamming' FH and put it here, the Anything thread and the Lounge section. I want it to be seen by as many people as possible because no matter how we agonize about our favorite teams, fall apart when they lose and call it a disaster, no matter where we stand politically and the constant forth and back and no matter if you are black or white, religious or not some people just have drawn a worse hand of cards in the game of life.
I think nothing can be more devastating than being diagnosed as a 5-year old with brain cancer and having two tough surgeries at the age of 7.


The story itself is already three years old but it is always new and that little 'Rudy moment' will be ingrained in his life forever.
Kudos for the Nebraska Cornhuskers to give that little fellow a moment in time - his time. So, next time before you declare a disaster think back to little Jack and his tough battle for life.

Update: As of today his brain cancer has returned and he still undergoes treatment.

Cancer returns[edit]
On August 5, 2014, Hoffman found out that his tumor had grown since his April, 2014 MRI. His father reported that in April, there was a spot in his scan, but that they had hoped that it was nothing. Hoffman will likely undergo further chemotherapy or surgery.[24][25][26] After consultation with Hoffman's medical team, in mid-August of 2014, his parents decided to pursue a clinical trial in Boston involving a genetic therapy approach in part because the cancer has spread to the brain stem making surgery difficult
