Turning Mess into Message

Good Morning America (GMA) anchor Robin Roberts was honored for “Turning Mess Into Message” The 2013 recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at this year’s ESPYs, Robin said, “I feel that I am a symbol of all those who have gone past their struggles in life and come up on the other end as a thriver as well as a survivor.”

Robin’s Journey

In August 2005, Roberts found her personal and professional lives collide when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans and Mississippi Gulf Coast where Roberts called home most of her life.

In 2007, Robin fought and won a courageous and public battle with breast cancer.

In 2012, Robin discovered she had myelodsplastic syndromes, known as MDS, a rare and debilitating blood disorder, most likely resulting from her treatment for breast cancer. She underwent a bone-marrow transplant in September 2012. She was warned that “at one point I would feel like dying.” Shortly after the transplant, that came true, she said: “I was in a pain I had never experienced before, physically and mentally. I was in a comalike state. I truly felt like I was slipping away. Then I kept hearing, ‘Robin! Robin’” The voice belonged to a nurse, who was “pleading for me to stay here,” Ms. Roberts said. “And thankfully I did. I came back.”
