#LeahStrong: NFL player's daughter battling cancer attends first Bengals game

 

CINCINNATI — The daughter of Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still is battling cancer and got to do something she has never done before – watch him play in an NFL game.

Leah Still, 4, has had multiple surgeries, and Thursday night was the first time she has been well enough to get on a plane.
 
"It's definitely exciting to finally have my daughter out here in Cincinnati and for her to able to go to a game finally and be able to watch me play.  Hopefully I'll give her a lot to cheer for," said Still.

Still's family has gotten a lot of support on social media under the hashtag #LeahStrong.

The Bengals plan to present a $1.35 million check to Cincinnati's Children's Hospital for pediatric cancer research.  The money raised came from sales of Still's No. 75 jersey.

Still played at Penn State University.
