Chiefs’ running back Charcandrick West has a busy summer ahead as he battles for positioning on the depth chart.

But West, who was diagnosed with arthritis at 14 years old, realizes life goes beyond football.

So before organized team activities began two weeks ago, West hit the recording booth with “Singing for Superheroes.” He created a music video, “Body of Steel,” with 10-year-old Jillian Reed, who also suffers from arthritis, to raise awareness and support children who have arthritis or a rheumatic condition.

“When you hear of arthritis, you think about older people,” West said.
