Prior to kickoff between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, the Cincinnati Police showed support for Devon Still with No. 75 patches on their uniforms.

On Thursday night, the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals kick off Week 10 of the NFL season in primetime and the daughter of Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still, Leah, will be in attendance.

It will be the first time that Leah has ever had the opportunity to watch her father play live and it is already turning out to be a special moment.

Devon Still’s daughter, Leah Still, has been in Philadelphia receiving treatment for pediatric cancer.

The Bengals defender has been communicating with his daughter mainly through Skype while she receives her treatment, but on Thursday night Leah will be in attendance to hand her father a check for the amount of money which was raised for the Children’s Hospital Medical Center to help fight pediatric cancer by selling Still’s No. 75 jersey.

Over $1.25 million has been raised, and Leah Still is expected to be there when the check is handed over by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Even the Cincinnati Police Department is getting involved in tonight’s emotional ceremony, with the Bengals official Twitter account sharing a photo that shows police officers wearing No. 75 patches on the back of their uniforms to show support of Still and his family.

Leah Still has been an inspiration to many and Devon Still’s openness about his families difficult time is giving plenty of people around the country some extra strength and motivation to fight as hard as they can and treasure every moment together.

UPDATE:

Even though the Cincinnati PD were out in full support of Leah Still tonight, one guy was secretly rooting for the Browns.
