Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still’s daughter Leah has captured seemingly everyone’s hearts during her courageous battle with cancer. As of today, she remains free of her Stage-4 neuroblastoma to which she went through chemotherapy and radiation to beat. Well, the folks at Wheaties wanted to pay tribute to this adorable 5-year-old’s triumph by putting her on a box of their cereal.
Leah won the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPY Awards in July. Given Devon’s status as an NFL star, and Leah’s determination, she has become a true symbol of inspiration for all those who are fighting cancer. Leah’s story first made headlines in 2014 after the Bengals kept Devon on their roster so that he could keep his insurance to pay for Leah’s treatment. I haven’t had Wheaties in years, but having Leah on the box is enough to make me run out to the store and get some.
