7-Year Old Cancer Patient Jack Hoffman's Trials and Triumphs as an Honorary Cornhusker

Jack Hoffman is a seven-year old boy. He loves Nebraska football. His hero is Cornhusker player Rex Burkhead. His mother and father obviously adore him. And Jack has brain cancer.

As Jack returns to the doctor for an MRI scan any day now, we should all marvel at a boy who has overcome tough odds battling brain cancer for two years. And oh yeah, he inspired the largest comeback victory in Nebraska football history and even scored a touchdown as an honorary player!

Please do Jack a favor and keep him in your prayers. Donate to his selected charity "Cure Search for Children's Charity" by going to his webpage TeamJackFoundation.org. Like his Facebook page to show solidarity. Spread the word about Jack and his foundation.

You don't even have to make a donation to help find cures for serious cancers like Jack's. Sign up for goodsearch.com and select a charity on the search engine's list. Every time you use it, a penny is donated to the charity of your choice. I highly recommend St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Dan Pallotta: The way we think about charity is dead wrong

Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world.
