Thursday night will be very special for Cincinnati Bengals' defensive tackle Devon Still. It will be the first game his 4-year-old daughter Leah will get to watch him play live in person since she was diagnosed with cancer.
Leah has been battling stage four neuroblastoma, but is well enough to attend the game. She had a cancerous tumor removed back in September, but is not yet cancer free. If Leah is healthy enough come Thursday's game against the Cleveland Browns she is set to join her father on the field as he and the Bengals donate over $1 million to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
By selling jerseys for donation, the team was able to raise the money to help fund pediatric cancer research in honor of Leah.
Leah has received a lot of support within the team's organization, as well as by numerous fans of her fight against cancer via social media. Many of Leah's fans show their support for her in her fight against cancer by tweeting with the hashtags “#LeahStrong” and “#StillStrong.”
The young girl has become a personal inspiration to many people.
