Every time my daughter tells me to get fired so I can come back to Delaware with her it rips me a part

Leah Still's fight with pediatric cancer first came to the nation's attention when the Bengals dropped her father from the active roster to the practice squad so he could spend more time with Leah and still keep his healthcare insurance.

Leah has since become a rallying point for funding cancer research, with the Bengals giving all proceeds from Still's jersey sales to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, a number which has totaled $1.3 million so far.
