Team Jack radiothon continues on without founder

NORFOLK, Neb. -- The ninth annual Team Jack Radiothon is the first ever without Andy Hoffman.

Ten years ago, Andy Hoffman -- father of pediatric brain cancer patient Jack Hoffman -- reached out to try and raise $100,000 for brain cancer research.

Andy Hoffman was later diagnosed with brain cancer himself, and he lost the battle last year.

94Rock radio host Michael J. Anthony says this year is particularly special.

"Even though Andy's no longer with us, his vision continues on," Anthony said.

Last year, the radiothon raised a record-breaking $138,000. This year, the foundation will support 15 families with children battling pediatric brain cancer, but funds will also go toward continued research.

Since 2013, Team Jack has raised upward of $8.5 million.
