Kathie Lee Gifford is a close friend to many people and has used her platform for a cause close to her this week.
The former Today Show star took to Instagram to share a photo of her friend, Sarah Young, who is going through a health battle right now with Lyme disease.
Kathie - who is a well-known Christian - asked her followers to pray for her friend during this difficult time.
She wrote: "Hi everybody. Instead of my regular scripture posting, I am asking for prayer for my sweet friend, Sarah Young, who has probably blessed many of you with her writings based on Jesus Calling.
"She is struggling right now and needs prayer. She has been battling Lyme disease for years, very courageously and quietly and continuing to be faithful to the messages God gives her for us.
"Would you sent her a message today please and ask that Jesus heals her? She is just precious."

Fans were quick to comment on the post to show their support, with one writing: "Thinking of Sarah and praying for her," while another wrote: "I hope Sarah gets better soon." A third added: "I will be praying for Sarah."
Kathie's post came just before another emotional tribute that she shared last week, in honor of her late friend and former co-star, Regis Philbin, who passed away in July 2020.
