Robin Roberts to be Honored at ESPYS

Former ESPN anchor and current Good Morning America host Robin Roberts will be honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2013 ESPYS in Los Angels on July 17.

The award is presented annually to “individuals whose contributions transcend sports,” and Roberts definitely fits the bill.

In the past six years, Roberts has battled and defeated not only breast cancer but myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a rare blood disorder.  Roberts was able to bring public awareness to both diseases during her fight and recovery.
