General Mills in placing Leah Still's image on a box of Wheaties, it demonstrated that champions are not just athletes that they can come in the form of little girls fighting cancer.
The cereal box usually features Olympians and a variety of athletes, but General Mills created a very special version for one of the world’s bravest little girls. This version of the Wheaties box was not made available for people to purchase; but, as a memento for Leah and her family.
This award comes after Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still and his daughter Leah won an Jimmy V ESPY Award for their determination and perseverance in the face of cancer.
Caitlyn Jenner’s speech, the most anticipated speech of the night. Whether you agree or disagree with the way she has chosen to live out the rest of her life, Caitlyn Jenner’s speech was extremely moving and inspirational. Jenner used her platform to speak about the plight of transgender youth and bullying.
Another inspirational speech was made by Devon Still. He used his platform for creating awareness of childhood cancer. Still, who is a professional football player, helped us all to look at his and his daughter Leah's unfortunate situation in a more positive light. He also challenged everyone to take action beyond writing a check.
