Leah Still wasn’t able to receive her ESPY award Wednesday night, but she didn’t have to wait long to get her hands on the trophy.
Leah, along with her father, Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still, was recognized at the ESPYs with the Jimmy V Perseverance award for her courageous — and public — battle with cancer. Unfortunately, Leah wasn’t able to attend the awards ceremony, as her immune system isn’t yet strong enough for her to travel.
Devon attended the ceremony to accept the award on his and her behalf. He also delivered a powerful and emotional speech upon accepting the award. He then returned home to deliver the goods to his daughter.
The result was this precious photo.
