Leah Still is attending her first NFL game tonight as her father, Devon, and the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown Stadium.
Still, who played at Penn State from 2008-2011, has had quite the tumultuous year. Leah was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in early June. She was able to make the trip from Philadelphia to Cincinnati to see her dad play for the first time ever.
The Bengals have supported Still throughout this process, announcing it is selling Still's No. 75 jersey ($100), with all proceeds going to support pediatric cancer research and the Cincinnati Children?s Hospital. Jersey sales have generated $1.25 million for the hospital.
Here is a photo Devon posted of Leah posing with Cincinnati Bengals cheerleaders before the start of tonight's game. What a special moment for both Devon and Leah.
