Andy Hoffman, whose young son, Jack, scored a stirring touchdown during a Nebraska spring game while battling brain cancer, died Monday of a different form of brain cancer.
Hoffman, a 42-year-old lawyer who had devoted his time to the Team Jack Foundation to raise money for pediatric brain cancer research after his son s 2011 diagnosis, received a diagnosis of glioblastoma, an especially aggressive form of brain cancer, after becoming ill while running last July. He understood at the time that his time was finite and told The Washington Post in October, that it s about maximizing time with your family.
