Jack Hoffman is only seven years old, although two years ago he was diagnosed with brain cancer. He is currently receiving a long chemotherapy treatment that lasts more than a year.
This little one has an idol (as they all have at their age), in his case he admires a character of flesh and blood that you will not know but he is a football player and his name is Rex Burkhead. 'Huskers' is Jack's favorite team, he plays Rex Burkhead, and somehow they knew that what made this child more excited would be to be able to play even a few minutes.
Thought and realized, the players of the University of Nebraska, took it so seriously that they prepared everything so that Jack I could play last Saturday during the end of the game at the Memorial Stadium.
Jack has become the little national great hero, representing all children with pediatric cancer, and demonstrating that you can fight to achieve dreams, because for every step you take, you are closer to the goal.
Last Saturday the world of sport stopped for a few moments in Nebraska, the attendees did not care who won, because a small and brave being made his way between players who tripled the size to mark a touchdown after run 69 yards
We have seen very exciting images in which the child despite initially hesitating, integrates into the game with a lot of naturalness, and is finally cheered by players and audience. The dream was completed with a dinner in the company of Rex, which was also attended by the boy's father.
We celebrate the generosity of the Huskers, and the role of Jack's parents, which is being decisive not only to provide him with small illusions, but also to accompany him in the treatment. And to the little one we can only tell him that we are impressed by his courage.
