NFL legend Michael Strahan showcased impressive strength on the field throughout his Hall of Fame career.
His daughter, Isabella, has demonstrated similar toughness away from the football throughout her battle with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer. After roughly eight months of undergoing treatment for the cancer dating back to October 2023, Isabella officially reached a big milestone in the process, recently completing her final round of chemotherapy.
She was able to celebrate the occasion with her family by ringing the bell at the hospital that administered her treatment. The moment was also documented in a montage that has since circulated on the Strahans’ social media and elsewhere, including the Good Morning America page.

Isabella has documented the entire process since her cancer diagnosis in a series of vlogs posted to her YouTube channel over the last few months, with the most recent coming days ago after her big moment ringing the bell.
She also posted several photos to Instagram commemorating the journey.
“After the wildest eight months, I finally got to ring the bell. Grateful for my journey.”
Michael made a post of his own to Instagram to highlight his daughter’s achievement, and attested to her strength in navigating a difficult journey.
“@isabellastrahan you are a SUPERWOMAN!” he wrote in the caption. “Ringing that bell finishing chemo and on your way! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 You continue to fight with a smile on your face, strength, and determination. I am one proud Dad! Love you, Bella ❤️❤️.”
Strahan has become quite the famous figure, both initially for his NFL exploits and later for his highly successful television career.
On the field, Strahan earned his gold jacket after putting together an illustrious 15-year career with the New York Giants. Off it, he previously co-hosted Good Morning America and has done plenty of NFL work for Fox, alongside being part of many other shows.
Michael has four kids: Tanita, Michael Jr., Sophia, and Isabella. The latter two are twin sisters and both 19 years old, having been born Oct. 28, 2004.
The four children have all been through some big moments in their lives, but perhaps none are quite as big as Isabella’s battle with cancer. She has reached a key milestone in the process after completing chemotherapy and now hopes to remain cancer-free.
