Our hearts go out to the family of GMA’s Michael Strahan. This morning, he and his daughter Isabella sat down with his co-host Robin Roberts to share the news that Isabella is currently undergoing treatment for a brain tumor.

“This is something that is so personal that I didn’t know if it would be something that she would want to share,” Strahan told Roberts on air Thursday morning. “But her idea was, ‘I want to share it, and I want to help other people,’ and that goes into the spirit of who she’s always been.”

Isabella plans to share her journey with others on a YouTube series she’s launching in partnership with Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center. She hopes to be source of strength and inspiration to other young people living with cancer.

“With my platform, I hope to just kind of be a voice and be a person who people who maybe are going through something similar, going through chemotherapy or radiation, can look at and just hear and just watch, or find something interesting about their day,” she said. “I’m just excited for that.”
