A Statement from Kansas City Current President Raven Jemison

Kansas City Current News Release
KANSAS CITY - Kansas City Current President Raven Jemison issued the following statement on Monday morning:
"Matchdays at CPKC Stadium are magic.
When you've been in the business of sport as long as I have, matchdays are the antidote to the stresses that people don't see in preparation of meeting the moment - the fans, the match, the high fives, the teal (EVERYWHERE!). It's my favorite. It's my normal.
I'll miss it as I prepare for my new normal.
Shortly before Opening Day this season, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to the amazing team at the University of Kansas Health System, we caught it early. The care I have already received is world-class and I know I am in good hands.
It is important to me that I remain transparent and open throughout this experience. I hope to encourage others to prioritize their health and reinforce the importance of scheduling regular mammograms.
During my treatment, I will be taking time to focus on my health and am grateful for the support of our ownership group.
In the meantime, keep the magic going and I'll see you soon! #KCBABY"
