The Kansas City Chiefs organization and its players received an outpouring of praise from fans after they welcomed a young cancer survivor, Jackson, and his family to their training facility during a preseason practice.
In a heartwarming video shared by the Chiefs, Jackson, a Make-A-Wish kid, is seen chatting with star players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, as well as head coach Andy Reid. “The guys got to hang out with Make-A-Wish kid Jackson yesterday, who recently became cancer-free after seven rounds of aggressive treatment,” the team captioned the video.
Mahomes warmly greeted Jackson, who was decked out in Chiefs merchandise, while Kelce enthusiastically high-fived the kids. Reid joined in on the fun, putting a cap on Jackson’s head and then adding another hat backward, quipping, “Then they won’t know if you’re coming or going.”
