2012 Pro Bowl - Make A Wish1210 views13-year old Julian Kinard, a Damascus High School (Montgomery County, MD) quarterback awaits a signature on his football from Ben during the week of the 2012 Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

On New Years Eve, 2009. "flu-like symptoms" with a high fever suddenly turned into organ failure, life support and eventually a medically-induced coma for Julian. He was diagnosed with HLH (Hemophagocytic LymphoHistiocytosis), a rare blood disorder. In time, Julian, full of determination, "beat the odds" learning how to walk, talk and eat again. The one thing that kept him going was football!

"One of the first things he said before he could even walk again was, 'I'm going to play football and I don't care what anybody says'", he told his mother, Lorena Mauney.

He has been in remission since 2010, but is in need of a bone marrow transplant. He is on the registry for a donor.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation sent him to the 2012 Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

You can watch video of his story with FOX Channel 5 in Washington, DC:

January 8, 2012 - Steelers @ Broncos1314 viewsBrian Goodson (center) poses with friends before the game:

"This was my first game to see our Steelers play Denver. Wearing my Big Ben jersey with pride. I ended up buying all three of our tickets for my friends (Jakob on the left and Victoria on the right, me in the middle) and drove from Montana to see them in person. I was so happy to see my hero play and hope he knows he will always be my hero no matter what. Let him know I say 'Hi' and tell him I'll be back to see him play hopefully this upcoming season." -- Brian

January 29, 2012 - Pro Bowl Week1373 viewsBen poses with brothers Danny and John Trower.

"We met Ben at the 'Players Welcome Party' for the 2012 Pro Bowl at their hotel. I went up and introduced myself, told him I was in the Marine Corps, I gave him a coin and he was very cool. He is a great person and took the time out to talk to us. Very professional guy!! Not only did I get to go to this party, but I had field passes to the practices and the game and Big Ben was the biggest hit of them all. So many Steeler fans there, it was CRAZY! But he took the time to go and sign for them, even when the bus was about to take off, he stayed out there for a few more minutes, way too cool. Such an awesome guy, my brother and I were blown away!!" -- GySgt D.M. Trower

March 2-4, 2007: ESPN - The Weekend1354 viewsFan Shawn LaRue captured Ben's "silly side" as he prepared for a televised interview:

"We were all leaving the park and we saw people setting up some mics so we figured to hang around. And sure enough, Ben came out to do an interview. As a huge Steelers Fan, this made my trip! He signed everyoneâ€™s items and chatted with people â€“ he even played catch with some younger fans! I took some pictures and was able to get this one â€“ I thought it was hilarious and showed a playful/laid back side of him! This actually might have even been his birthday now that I think about it because we all sung 'Happy Birthday' to him!" -- Shawn.
