Michael Strahan's daughter shared that she developed a bond with Louisiana State University football player Greg Brooks Jr., who is also undergoing treatment for medulloblastoma.
"He thought he had vertigo just like me, so I thought our stories were so similar," Isabella explained in her March 26 YouTube video. "Then he discovered it was not vertigo, and we're on the same kind of treatment schedules."
Since they connected, Isabella has regularly checked in with Greg and his family, who have all leaned on each other during this difficult time. In the video, the Strahan family shows their support for the athlete by donning "Pray for Greg Brooks" sweatshirts.
"I keep very close touch with him, and I can't wait to meet him in person one day," she noted. "He's the sweetest. I just love his family and him so, so much. They've helped me."
And it turns out Greg—who announced his diagnosis in October—and Isabella are also on a similar treatment schedule.
"I just finished my second cycle of chemo, he just finished his second cycle," she said. "We're making it through together. Fight on."
And Isabella finishing her second cycle was a major milestone in her battle and now has four more rounds to go. She even celebrated the achievement alongside mom Jean Muggli by decorating the window of her room, making taco salad and staying hydrated.
Along with the Brooks family, Isabella has had unwavering support from Michael, Jean and twin sister Sophia. Keep reading to get to know the Strahan family.
