Leah began her cancer treatments when she was just 4 years old.
Last July, the girl's fight against cancer was recognized when she won the Jimmy V. Perseverance Award at ESPYs. Leah's dad accepted the award on her behalf.
"It was important to us, to be honest before my daughter was diagnosed with cancer, I didn't know too much about childhood cancer," Still said. "Just knowing I had the platform I knew I could reach a big audience and inform everybody what it's like for a family to deal with pediatric cancer."
As for his message to parents dealing with a child who is sick, Still said "don't give up."
