The pro defensive tackle’s daughter very publicly fought cancer last year, and in March, Still announced that his daughter’s disease had gone into remission. Unfortunately, however, Leah suffered a setback in May when……doctors diagnosed her with Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, or VOD, a complication that affects the liver and can sometimes arise in patients who, like Leah, have undergone stem-cell transplants.
It was clear that after Leah was given the OK, every one of her fans, called #LeahStrong fans, were ecstatic too. The video Still and his daughter made went viral and has over 40,000 likes and 2,000 comments.
Here’s to the Still family seing their way through this and the love of a father on Father’s Day.
