Jack Hoffman is a 7-year-old brain cancer patient, but that didn’t stop him from scoring a touchdown in Nebraska’s spring game Saturday afternoon. Jack, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and is currently on a break from his chemotherapy treatment, came into the game for a fourth-and-1 on the 31 yard line. With the help of some blockers, Jack ran the ball all the way into the end zone in front of more than 60,000 fans.
Thanks Geo
That was awesome (he writes, as he’s sitting here wearing his St Baldrick’s t-shirt)! I’m sure it was an incredible moment for him, too. Thanks for posting this. 🙂
That was incredible.
The Bears need to sign him up…
Who would give this a thumbs down….
Not bad for a 7-year-old, with or without brain cancer!
I was in the south end zone Saturday, with a direct view from behind. What a run! Everyone in the stadium was on their feet cheering (and/or crying); it was all anyone talked about for the rest of the game. Simply amazing!
That must have been fantastic to be there in person dabba. I’m cheering and crying from home. That’s just terrific!
