Leah became a media darling last season when her father was cut from the team, but then re-signed to the practice squad so he would be able to pay for her treatments. She was diagnosed with stage-four neuroblastoma in 2014 and was declared in remission this past summer. Today, she is finally cancer free and has a big fan in none other than NBA superstar LeBron James, who posted the following to his Instagram.
