Rams' Make-A-Wish recipient hits the gym with Aaron Donald
After going through cancer treatment, Kyle Frazier wanted to meet Aaron Donald, the Los Angeles Rams star. Before Sunday's game, they hit the weights together.

Frazier, 21, said the call with Donald was "emotional" and really helped him through his journey.
"Oh my God, he was so nervous," Frazier's mom, Kenya James, told ESPN. "He said, 'Ma, I didn't even know what to say. I was so nervous talking to him.' ... It just kind of drove him. Just more motivation for him to continue to grow and learn and do in the sport and in class."
And so, two years later, the Rams and Make-A-Wish partnered to bring Frazier to spend a weekend with the team, first getting a workout in at the team facility and then signing a one-day contract with general manager Les Snead. Frazier, who is a sophomore offensive lineman at Savannah State, stayed at the team hotel on Saturday night and took the bus to SoFi Stadium on Sunday to watch the Rams play the Los Angeles Chargers. And while the whole weekend has been great, Frazier said, he was "ecstatic" to get to work out with Donald.
