Laurie on the set of Good Morning America with Emeril & Alden Legasse
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 
Thank you Emeril and Alden Lagasse for taking me to New York last month (July 30th) to spread some "hope and healing" to Good Morning America's co-anchor Robin Roberts.
During a special visit to the Good Morning America set, Laurie hand-delivered her memoir, "I am Living to Tell," and a beautiful piece of Chi Bella jewelry to the ever-optimistic Robin Roberts. Robin, who five years ago beat breast cancer, was diagnosed in June with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome).
In the ABC network blog, Robin stated:
"As many of you know, 5 years ago I beat breast cancer. I’ve always been a fighter, and with all of your prayers and support, a winner.
Sometimes the treatment for cancer can cause other serious medical problems. Today, I want to let you know that I’ve been diagnosed with MDS or myelodysplastic syndrome. It’s a disease of the blood and bone marrow and was once known as preleukemia.
My doctors tell me I’m going to beat this — and I know it’s true."
