Leah Still, the daughter of NFL player Devon Still, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, has received her own Wheaties cereal box. The Cincinnati Bengals star’s little girl took the cover of a special box by the famous sports cereal brand, following in the footsteps of many other athletes, celebrities, and inspirational individuals.
Still posted the photo of his daughter on the box to his Instagram, where he thanked the company for the acknowledgement, and even shared Leah’s personal reaction.
“This is so awesome,” he wrote of her own words after seeing the box with her photo. The picture Wheaties used incorporates Leah bundled up in a flannel shirt, white headband, combat boots, all while carrying a guitar in her left hand. The best part is the smirk on her face, along with the hand placed on her hip to strike a very confident pose.

Last year, her father revealed that Leah had been diagnosed with cancer after coming down with a fever the day of a dance recital, which later led to her having to go through surgeries to try and help cure her. Soon after it was reported that she was cancer free, her body went into remission, which she has been working to overcome ever since 2014. Despite the tragic news of her illness, Leah has been keeping her spirits high and very positive throughout the treatment and rigorous fighting process. Her dad has been capturing the journey over the last year on his social media accounts.
Last month, Devon Still attended the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles, where he and Leah, who was absent at the time, received the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ceremony. Even though she was unable to attend the awards show in the major city, she was able to thank everyone in the audience through a satellite video, melting hearts nationwide of anyone tuning in.
