Helping young women reach their potential in sports and beyond was the goal of a fundraiser last week.
Roberts' and Laign's love story began 18 years ago when they were set up on a blind date by mutual friends.
Robin recovered and is using her story to shed light on the struggle of many patients face who are in desperate need of bone marrow transplants.
While Robin had a perfect match within her own family, approximately 70% of patients do not have a matching donor in their family and must turn to registries like Be The Match.
Robin Roberts is marking 10 years this week, since her life saving bone marrow transplant surgery.
Roberts' teammate T.J. Holmes unveiled a special gift for her 20th anniversary on the show. It was a plaque embedded in cement, which will immortalize Roberts' name and signature in Times Square.
