The 31-year-old reporter was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) last October – just one month after giving birth to her second son.

A GoFundMe page had also been started to support Faith in her battle.

More than $33,000 was raised to help the family during her treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona.
