“It means a lot to me,” Alualu told Steelers.com. “It’s one of those things where we do things that might seem small, trying to honor them, but speaking for my sister it meant the world to see her name last time I did this and see grandpa’s name on the shoe. … It made her smile and hoping my grandpa is doing the same. It makes it all the more worth it.”
