Text of Tony Coelho Video Message on the Steelers' Super Bowl Win

Hi, I'm Tony Coelho, chairman of the Foundation Board.

It's exciting that the Steelers have won, that Alan Faneca did such a great job. Congratulations to all of you.

We're excited because of Alan and that he has epilepsy. And he's willing to talk about it; he's willing to be open about it.

For all of us who have epilepsy, Alan, that's wonderful.

Playing football, playing starting guard, is one of the toughest positions, and the fact that you can do that tells all of us that we can do what we want to do.

Thank you.
