GOOD Morning America co-host Robin Roberts has shared an inspiring story about her extended health troubles as the renowned anchor reflects on her cancer battle.
Roberts, who overcame two separate cancer diagnoses, fought back tears as she celebrated 10 years since her life-saving bone marrow transplant.
The beloved GMA host praised her sister, Sally-Ann, for giving her the "precious gift" of stem cells and spread awareness for others to become a donor.
"10 years ago…I was waking up in the hospital after receiving a life-saving bone marrow transplant from my loving sister, Sally-Ann," Roberts tweeted.
"Now, more people than ever can be helped by that procedure and there are new and innovative ways to do them. Coming up on @GMA.
"To commemorate the stretch of time between my transplant and when I returned to the anchor desk…we’re going to share other inspiring stories and show how you can potentially save a life, too."
