WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) -- Patients at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children got some much needed inspiration and entertainment today.

Former Cincinnati Bengals player and Wilmington, Delaware native, Devon Still, stopped by.

His "Still Strong" foundation, along with Sony, donated 17 Playstation consoles and games for families to use during their hospital stay.

The hospital is where Still's daughter Leah was diagnosed with cancer.

He offered some advice for those fighting the disease right now.

"Stay strong. You don't always get good news when you're here - that's one of the things that holds families back but as long as you can keep the mindset that you can make it through whatever news you get, you know, there's light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to be mentally strong enough to make it there," he said.

Still says Leah is undergoing maintenance treatment now to ensure her cancer stays in remission.
