August 18, 2012 - Make-A-Wish: Christopher Naegeli 1413 views13-year old Christopher Naegeli watched the Steelers morning practice at training camp, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger came behind him, then knelt down beside him and started talking football.
The teenager who a few minutes earlier was joking with his mom and sister, got quiet and shy, meeting his hero for the first time. But after a few minutes Naegeli, who has spina bifida and came to camp through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, warmed up not just to Roethlisberger but also to Coach Mike Tomlin, and the rest of the players who came over to meet him, sign his football and joke around.
“It means a lot,†said his mother, Barbara Naegeli. “This is something he normally wouldn’t ever get to do. He likes watching football, but because of his wheelchair he will never be able to play. It’s great for him to get up close with the players.â€
And it was easy to see the players, including Roethlisberger whose foundation helps the Make-A-Wish Foundation, loved it as well.
“I think it’s awesome the players like to do it and love spending time with the kids,†said Naegeli.

The Hixenbaugh Men....1048 viewsDad Jeff, sons Jared (left) and Jaxen wear their #7's proudly.
From Jeff:
"I would like to let you know that Ben and the Steelers have gotten me through some very tough times. My middle son Jayden passed away over 4 years ago. He was 3-1/2 years old and had his own unique genetic disorder. We almost lost him after his 1 year birthday. He was in the hospital the whole month of Jan. 2006 in the PICU. I would go there to give his mom a break on Saturday evening. Sunday I would put on my #7 jersey and put my Terrible Towel over Jayden. I did this for all three playoff games. He was home for the Super Bowl win. Even now I think of Jayden a little harder when my Steelers are playing. So thank you Ben and the Steelers.
