Devon Still hurried to be by daughter Leahs side as she got stem-cell treatment


Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still is a busy man these days, practicing and playing football in Cincinnati, then flying over to Philadelphia, where his daughter Leah is a cancer patient at Childrens Hospital.Of course, Still would be the first to tell that what hes going through is nothing compared to his daughters ordeal.

Leah was scheduled to undergo stem-cell treatment Tuesday, in order to alleviate some of the internal damage caused by chemotherapy and radiation. There was no way Still was going to miss out on being by thefour-year-olds side.

Mission accomplished, Still had to hurry back to work.

Support for Leah and other kids stricken with pediatric cancer continues to pour in. On Saturday, members of the AHLs Syracuse Crunchdonned Stills No. 75 Bengals jersey as they competed in theFrozen Dome Classic at the Carrier Dome. According to cincinnati.com, the jerseys were then signed and will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House.

He previously had used 'Desmond Bieler' as his byline, but feels that shortening the first name to 'Des' nicely conveys his ever-decreasing gravitas. He also covers Fantasy Football.
