The Kansas City Chiefs' Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers will mean more than the scoreboard. As part of the NFL's Crucial Catch campaign, the night honors cancer survivors and educates the public on the importance of early cancer detection.
Crucial Catch: Intercept Cancer aims to move the country towards unprecedented early detection and risk reduction of screenable cancers. In partnership with the University of Kansas Cancer Center, the Chiefs again hosted lunches for patients affected by Cancer. They watched practice at the University of Kansas Health System Training Complex.
The campaign enables the NFL to reach and positively impact a broader population affected by various forms of Cancer. Crucial Catch calls on people across
the country to access an NFL-funded digital tool that recommends how to take action to stay healthy and reduce cancer risk.
The Chiefs will host the Chargers in another AFC West battle on October 18, their first game after a Week 5 bye.
