Leah didn’t get to go to the steakhouse she wanted to to celebrate so I put on my chef hat and brought the steakhouse to her. #CancerFree #LeahStrong. pic.twitter.com/jr1j42AJp8

In 2014, Still revealed to the world the heartbreaking news that his daughter was battling stage 4 Neuroblastoma cancer in 2014. He decided to put his NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals on hold during that time, frequently posting videos and photos, as he was by Leah’s side.
Still revealed in March 2015 that Leah was cancer-free, but stem cell implant caused a setback at the time. A few weeks later, Leah started the recovery process and her health began improving.
It’s awesome news from Still, and we all congratulate Leah on this amazing achievement.
