Michael added: "Join me in spreading awareness by posting a photo of your team now through 9/30, tagging @tcjayfund and @tackle kids cancer, as well as using #childhoodcancerawareness & #showuseyourteam!"
Among the comments, GMA meteorologist Ginger Zee was among the first to reply. "So much gratitude right back at you," she responded with a love heart.
Constance Schwartz, who also appears in one of the photos, commented: "It takes a village!!!! #team." Meanwhile, Victoria Trilling, the creative director of Michael Strahan Brand wrote: "Proud to be a part of your village! Love you!"
Michael, who often posts about life with his four children – Tanita, Michael Jr, Isabella and Sophia – has also hailed his Good Morning America co-stars as his "family." After joining the hit news show in 2016, the 51-year-old has formed the sweetest bond with his fellow anchors, and recently attended the wedding of Robin Roberts.
In a 2023 interview with Variety, Michael spoke about the unwavering support he receives from his GMA co-stars and crew members. "The bosses there say, 'This is where we feel like you can really excel.' I just couldn't see it for myself, so I'm glad that I've always been around people who had a vision for me to achieve more than I imagined that I could achieve," explained Michael.

"In the game of football, that was my dad. In the TV world, it's my business partner Constance, my Fox family and my ABC family, who all push me further than I would push myself."

"If you put yourself around that type of environment, it just gives you a bigger opportunity — not saying you're always going to be successful, but it gives you a better opportunity to be successful."
