Devon Still's message on hospital visit: My family is proof you can beat cancer

HOUSTON -- Devon Still visited the Texas Children's Hospital on Tuesday, not just as a defensive end for the Houston Texans, but also as a father who knew all too well what the kids with cancer and their parents were going through.

Still’s daughter, Leah, fought cancer after being diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2014 at age four. She became cancer-free in March, but still had more treatments to undergo. In January, Still announced that Leah was officially done with treatment and had beaten cancer.

Still said it is important for him to make these visits, because he wants to show parents that they have support when they need it.
