Devon Still, defensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, has more important things on his mind than football. He posted a video on his Instagram account Thursday morning of him driving his four-year-old daughter Leah to the hospital to get a tumor removed.
“You ready to get this cancer up out you?” Still asks his daughter in the video. She nods.
“Let’s do it,” he replies. “Fist bump.”
Leah has neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer that has given her a 50-50 chance of survival, according to ESPN. Many of Still’s teammates took to Twitter today to show their support:
Prayers for Leah Still this morning !!!
