During last night's Browns-Bengals game, Leah Still, the four-year-old daughter of Bengals DT Devon Still, was part of a presentation in which the team gave more than $1.3M to Cincinnati Children's Hospital to "help fight pediatric cancer from proceeds of the sale of Devon's No. 75 jersey over the last several weeks." During the ceremony after the first quarter, the Paul Brown Stadium videoboards played "Brave/True Colors," a music video featuring Leah. Browns QB Brian Hoyer came up to Devon "just before the start of the ceremony" and gave him a hug (CINCINNATI.com, 11/6).
CBS’ Jim Nantz during last night’s broadcast called the check presentation a “wonderful, sweet moment here, an outpouring of love for Leah Still.” CBS’ Tracy Wolfson said, “Just an emotional scene … with the check presentation and Leah Still. She was extremely emotional, overwhelmed by the situation. She came crying to her grandmother’s arms and her grandmother said to her, ‘Just remember. They’re all here because they love you’” (“Browns-Bengals,” NFL Network, 11/6).
Leah, who in June was diagnosed with stage four cancer, "flew to Cincinnati with family members on Wednesday night and is flying back to Philadelphia on Saturday." Devon is "going to fly back with her, because she starts radiation treatments on Tuesday" (CINCINNATI.com, 11/7).
