The Youngest Steeler

11-year old Heather Miller as a rare cancer called Ewing Sarcoma. This life-time Steelers fan stole the heart of Steeler safety, Troy Polamalu who met her 8 months ago during one of his frequent visits to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Heather faces yet another surgery on Friday, but not before she gets to watch her beloved Steelers face off against the Titans tonight!

This courageous little girl wears a green wristband with the acronym, F.R.O.G., which stands for Fully Rely on God. She has captured the hearts of the entire Steelers team. While I'm not a Steelers fan because of my beloved Colts, I've got to give it up for the Steelers. In a day and age when we seem to hear more about arrests records and court appearances by professional athletes it's refreshing to find some good news. We need to be reminded that the majority of professional athletes aren't selfish, careless thugs only bent on money. In fact, most of them are father's, son's, brothers, and husbands. They have family struggles like all of us. Read the story below how these massive and healthy pro athletes have adopted this real-life hero. While cancer has ravaged Heather's body with countless treatments and surgeries, it has not stolen her heart. May her courage and attitude encourage you. Just click on the link below:
