729 viewsMy name is Matt August and I am a police sergeant in California. I was born a Pittsburgh Steelers fan in 1972 and have carried that love for the team through highs and lows. I am now raising my own family and they have also embraced my love for Steelers football. I am a huge Ben Roethlisberger fan and have several of his jersey's and am hoping I will be able to get one of his new Nike jerseys this year so that I can hang up my old Reebok jerseys. As you can see from our photo, we are a large family so making sure my entire family had jerseys has always been a priority for me rather than updating my own.
One of the things I admire and respect the most is his leadership of the team and his devotion to his family. I am also very appreciative of the many grants he provides to police departments to help fund police K9's. These dogs are a tremendous resource and asset but can be cost prohibitive for so many agencies so his awareness and commitment to helping agencies is truly awesome.

Julia Pollock - July, 2012725 viewsJulia sent this photo and an update to both Ben and HER many fans since her story was posted on July 11th:
Hello Erin. Just wanted to send a message and a current picture of how I'm doing. I feel great. I'm just chilling here in Colorado sporting my Steelers colors. Can't wait to get bragging rights back at the Broncos/Steelers game. Whoo hoo! All of the extra attention has really been a wonderful distraction. I'm starting to walk again, went to the movies and have been out to a restaurant. My family and I are so very excited on my progress.
I really want to thank Ben for all his faith and prayers and of course his act of kindness contacting me. Words can never express how it made me feel. I wish you health and a successful season. Also, I want to thank the Steelers organization for their role in this wonderful experience, and of course Steeler Nation and newly gained Ben fans out there for their support and prayers. Trust me prayer does work, just look at me.

James Shimkus at Steelers Training Camp717 views"I am just writing to the site to show my picture of me and Ben, and to tell you how he is my favorite player of all time! Meeting Ben was amazing and to get a picture with him AND have him sign my jersey was absolutely amazing! A day doesn't go by that I don't think about it. I know it may seem crazy but that memory is the most amazing one ever! Here is me and Ben at training camp a couple years ago. See you at training camp Ben!"
Thank you James!

June 19, 2012 - On the way to Ireland!698 viewsFrom Gina Huss, Pittsburgh native and Die-Hard Steelers fan:
There were 6 of us (all born and raised in Pittsburgh!) going on a trip to Europe where we would be visiting Ireland, Wales, England, and France.. For 2 of us, it was our senior trip! We had a layover in Atlanta and then would be flying from there into Dublin airport. So there we were just hanging out in the Atlanta airport eating frozen yogurt when our adult chaperone came running over to us flailing her arms and freaking out because she just saw Big Ben with some friends at the nearby restaurant! Naturally all being from Pittsburgh, we approached him calmly and told him we were from Pittsburgh and wondered if we could take some pictures with him.
He was so nice to us and took pictures with all of us! He asked where we were going and one of his friends even knew the school district we were from! It was very cool to also find out that he was going to be on our flight to Dublin and that he was going golfing in Scotland!
To add to the already exciting meeting, when we boarded the plane and passed by him in first class, he acknowledged us as the "Pittsburgh senior trip crew" and raised his glass to us and told us to have lots of fun! We were absolutely mindblown! It was a very cool way to start off our Europe trip!
*Thank you Gina!!

Ben with the Hallsey's thank you Ben @_bigben7 just before tonight's game
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:
Chris Hallsey
Can't thank Ben enough for this...a dream come true for Tyler. As his father, seeing my son smile like this is worth more than anything in the world. Thank you thank you thank you! #whateverittakestylerhallsey
Steeler Nation is praying for you, Tyler!!
