“September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month! Blessed is an understatement.”

And fans have continued to praise her efforts. One said:

“God bless you Michelle. You are God sent.”

Another added:

“Our children are saying hi, call us when you are done with evening shift at the clinic.”

A Nigerian spotted her jersey and complimented her saying:

“You wore our beautiful jersey to work. So beautiful.”

A fan wrote:

“You will always continue to move into higher grounds. God bless you!”
