Donate to CureSearch for little Jack Hoffman


On June 2nd, CureSearch will be holding a walk at the Village Pointe Mall in Omaha, Nebraska. CureSearch is a National organization which is committed to helping find a cure for pediatric cancer. Each year, Teams can sign up for the walk and solicit team members.

As you know, Jack Hoffman was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor in May of 2011. As additional background, In September 2011, Jack had the chance of a lifetime and met Nebraska Cornhusker running back Rex Burkhead. Rex and Jack hit it off, and Rex wore a "Team Jack-Pray" wristband during the 2011 football season. As a result of Rex's support of Jack, Rex won the 2012 Rare Disease Champion Award presented by Uplifting Athletes.

The Hoffman family is kindly asking you to consider donating to Team Jack under his CureSearch website in honor of the walk -- www.curesearchwalk.org/omaha/teamjack. Your support would mean a great deal to their family and to the pediatric brain tumor community. We would also ask that you consider rallying your co-workers and employees to join your team and our team, at the walk on June 2nd.

This was an E-Mail I recieved today and I felt very compelled to share with the world.
Please feel free to copy this and repost anywhere, e-mails, Facebook and your blog if yu have one, thank you.

From Andy Hoffman
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As many of you already know, our son Jack was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in May 2011.  After two neurosurgeries, lots of prayers, support from people like you, and the good Lord's mercy, Jack is doing super.  Presently seizure free and coming off of a good MRI, doctors are hopeful for Jack's long term success.

Having said that, the only "real" cure for a brain tumor of Jack's type is complete tumor removal.  Jack has a small amount of tumor remaining, unfortunately.  The first line chemotherapy is nearly 25 years old and has not changed.  While neurosurgery technology and techniques have improved, chemotherapy has not. Children like Jack generally die from the chemotherapy itself. After 6-10 rounds of it, their organs will fail.  While Jack has "dodged" chemotherapy so far, and doctors are putting it off as long as possible, it is something that he will likely need eventually.

As many of you also know, Rex Burkhead of the Nebraska Cornhuskers befriended Jack this past fall.  During the fall season, Rex wore a "Team Jack-Pray" wristband for each game.  A full-fledged relationship between Rex, Jack and our respective families has evolved and has been a wonderful experience for our family.  While a lot of positives have come from this relationship (moral support, increased prayer support), one of the best things about Rex's involvement in Jack's life has been the awareness he has created for pediatric brain cancer.  As only approximately 3,000 children each year are diagnosed with this rare disease, there is considerable underfunding.  Right now, there are only two clinical trials going on for Jack's type of cancer.  Awareness is so important, because that is what gets the attention of the Federal government (which spends hundreds of millions each year on more known ailments, and rightfully so, such as breast cancer and aids).  Pediatric Brain Cancer, particularly of Jack's type, is not on their radar.  Awareness gets it on their radar. 

Long story short, Rex Burkhead has been nominated for a National Award by Uplifting Athletes - the Rare Disease Champion Award.  If Rex receives this award, he will be presented with the award at a banquet where the National Institute of Health is present.  The NIH is a major player in allocating Federal Funding for research.  By voting for Rex and supporting Rex, you would be helping our family "Fight for A Cure".   The winner is selected by online voting. 

As a personal favor, I would ask you to consider taking the following steps:


2.  Forward an e-mail request to everyone in your e-mail contact list, fellow-coworkers, family, and friends to vote for Rex and asking them to do the same thing I am asking you to do; and

3.  Post a Request on Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace to Vote for Rex along with a link to the voting page.  (Please do this every 3-5 days, if possible) 

Everyone has been so generous and gracious to our family, and we appreciate that.  Rex getting this award is not about more publicity for Jack and Rex.  It is about getting people fired up to start paying attention to the No. 1 cancer killer in children.  Your help is appreciated.  Please feel free to forward this e-mail, if you would like.

God Bless and thank you for your consideration.

Andy Hoffman
