NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fired ‘GMA3’ host Amy Robach recently took to Instagram to share a selfie with the iconic Empire State Building lit up in pink in the backdrop to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The month of October has been earmarked as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to raise awareness of this complex disease.

The 50-year-old former ‘GMA’ star was once diagnosed with the disease and underwent a bilateral mastectomy to get rid of it.

Robach’s battle with the cancer was intense and the former ‘GMA3’ host never shies away from raising awareness about it.

The initiative was done in partnership with Estee Lauder in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Robach, who is a breast cancer survivor, once revealed that she underwent eight rounds of chemotherapy after doctors found a second malignant tumor in her other breast.

The former ‘GMA3’ host's efforts in fighting breast cancer have been lauded by everyone and Robach now raises as much awareness as possible about this disease.

Robach captioned her post, “Pushing through the rain and the wind today! #6weekstogo #nycmarathon.”

Robach will not be running the marathon alone but will be accompanied by her boyfriend and former ‘GMA3’ star TJ Holmes.
