Wheaties is the breakfast of champions and Leah Still, the daughter of Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still, is every bit a champion. Even though she doesn’t play a sport herself, Leah has her own box of Wheaties.
Leah’s dad posted a photo of the box on Instagram and it shows a black and white picture of Leah on the front. Under her name, it reads, “Wheaties Champion.”
“Thanks @wheatiescereal,” Still wrote. “In the words straight out of Leah's mouth, this is so awesome!!”
Leah, 5, has already made it through several treatments for stage 4 neuroblastoma and her story has captured the attention of the sports community. Her dad even accepted the ESPYs Jimmy V Perseverance Award on her behalf last month. In March, Still said that Leah’s cancer had gone into remission.
While it would be a cool idea for General Mills to make Leah’s box widely available to raise money for children battling cancer, the company told ABC News that this is just a special one-off for her family as a “gift to a brave little girl.”
