Training Camp, 2013458 viewsSami Wilhite is all smiles when Ben walks up to sign her jersey!
"I went to training camp August 7th and 8th at Latrobe. Once again I had the chance to meet Ben. He was very cool and came to me first to sign my jersey out of everybody. Ben was messing with me and said it was "Okay" to give him the jersey to sign because he wasn't going to take it, LOL. We had a laugh and he was kind enough to take a picture with me. Once again thank you!!!!!" -- Sami

"We LOVE the Steelers! I grew up in Pittsburgh, but now live in St. Clairsville, Ohio, after marrying Brian. We had our wedding reception at Heinz Field (no place with a better view than the East Club Lounge)! We are now passing along our love of the Steelers to our three children, who are learning how to wave their terrible towels with pride! " -- Rachelle "Shelly" HarrSep 20, 2013

Kevin McClory372 views"Hello Erin, I bleed black and gold for the Steelers. Born in the Burgh and moved twenty years. Our local history museum in town has the NFL HOF Gridiron for Glory traveling exhibit in town. I took the day off in search of Steelers stuff. It was awesome. Took many pics. Some pics of famous players happen to include me and the towel some how. Took one of me and Ben. Why they chose to put the Jamal jersey there, I am not sure. Sending my best to Ben. P.S. Everyone at the museum dug the towel." -- Kevin McClorySep 20, 2013

September 1, 2013 - Perfect Day at PNC411 viewsMatt “Rabbi†Rabinowitz and his family took a break from the summer heat of Fort Lauderdale, Florida to visit Pittsburgh over the Labor Day weekend to take in the FSU vs Pitt game.
While they were visiting, they decided to take in a Pirates game, and look who they ran into!
“Nicest man I ever met,†said Matt. “He’s the man! Great guy and an even better QB!â€
What did he think of Pittsburgh? “I really enjoyed the city, great atmosphere!â€
He enjoyed the FSU vs Pitt game too, his Seminoles beat the Panthers 41-13 on Monday, September 2nd. You could say that Matt experienced a perfect sports weekend in the Da Burgh.
*Thank you to both Matt and his sister, Melissa!Sep 06, 2013

Pre-Season Game - August 24, 2013: Chiefs vs Steelers473 viewsYoung Tyler Hallsey is battling cancer. Recently, he had the opportunity to attend a Steelers pre-season game with his family, courtesy of former Steeler and current ESPN analyst Merril Hoge. It was a great night for Tyler, who also had the opportunity to meet and pose with Brett Keisel and Troy Polamalu, the man whose jersey he is wearing!
Tyler’s father, Chris, sent this email to share with other fans on his son’s experience:
When Tyler found out about his diagnosis he was scared and confused. We all were. My wife left the room to call her parents and give them the news. While she was out, Tyler and I talked about the road ahead and that it would be hard. We both made promises to each other, then I asked him what he thought we should do. He looked me in the eyes and said, “Whatever it takesâ€. I think Chuck Noll would be proud.
Since that day in February we have been team Whatever It Takes.
I think Tyler’s approach to fighting his brain tumor and Ben’s approach on the field are the same. You do whatever it takes. You do what others may not want to do or aren’t willing to do, in order to get the results you want. Sometimes that path is hard or perilous, but you do what has to be done. It’s inspiring to witness, especially when it comes from your son.
It would be impossible for me to properly express the amount of gratitude I have in my heart for Ben, and his willingness to take the time to meet Tyler. He loved every minute of it. Tyler is known for his constant smile, but this smile was even big for him! He was beyond happy.
A little while after we met Ben, we were in the tunnel waiting to see Troy Polamalu, when the team came out for final warm ups and Ben saw Tyler and said, “Hey! It’s my man Tyler!†He remembered his name and that made the day even more special. Tyler was in heaven. I know it was a brief moment for Ben, but those brief moments will bring a lifetime of joy to Tyler and my entire family.
I hope Ben knows how much that means to me as a father. This has been a terribly trying mountain to climb…it’s tough, but moments like these keep you going. They give you a much-needed second wind. As a father, I try to do everything in my power to ease Tyler’s burden, I would take it all if I could. As much as I try, moments like these are far beyond anything I could ever do. This was Ben pausing to help a little boy he didn’t even know, just for the sake of lifting him. No cameras, no press, just Ben and Tyler. While my gratitude is expressed with these two simple words, thank you, please know there is much more emotion and gratitude behind them. It was a black & gold dream come true!
Others will look at this picture and see a two time Super Bowl Champion and a 14-year-old boy bound to a wheelchair with an uncooperative body, but when I look at it, I see two giant men not afraid of a fight, and absolutely willing to do, “Whatever It Takes.â€
We are so proud to be a part of Steeler Natio. We always have been, but that conviction has grown even stronger. To Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu, Brett Keisel, Bruce Gradkoswki, Chris Hoke, Coach Mitchell, and of course, Merril Hoge who made this all happen, we thank you and we love you! Like we are part of Steeler Nation, you are now part of team “Whatever It Takesâ€! – Chris Hallsey
Steeler Nation is praying for you, Tyler!!

In February of this year, young Tyler Hallsey was diagnosed with Pontine Glioma - a tumor surrounding the brain stem.. He had the opportunity to attend the game with his family.
It was a great night for Tyler, who also got to meet and pose with Brett Keisel and Troy Polamalu, the man whose jersey he is wearing!
From Tyler's father, Chris, via the site's Facebook page:
