— -- It's usually world-famous athletes on the cover of a box of Wheaties, but the company that makes the cereal made a recent exception for Leah Still, daughter of Cincinnati Bengal's player Devon Still.

After the 5-year-old girl battled through multiple treatments for stage 4 neuroblastoma, General Mills sent over a specialized box for Leah.

Instead of a professional athlete, the box shows a black and white picture of a proud Leah on the cover. It's not the first time Leah has been honored by the sports community; earlier this year Devon Still accepted the ESPYs Jimmy V Perseverance Award on his daughter's behalf.

Unfortunately, however, her fans won't be able to run out and get the cereal box for themselves. A spokesman for General Mills, which makes Wheaties, told ABC News the box was sent to the family as a "gift to a brave little girl."
