Roberts took to Instagram after the event, writing, \"Ohhhh what a night, a VERY special night seeing @selmablair honored at the #RaceToEraseMS Gala. Her dear friend @sarahmgellar & I had the pleasure of presenting the award to Arthur’s beloved mother. Selma’s a stunning example of strength, courage, and determination for us all...especially to those who are also bravely facing MS.\"

The \"GMA\" anchor and inspiration herself later shared a heartwarming picture of the two embracing on the red carpet.

She also said Monday on \"GMA\" that it was an \"honor\" to be by Blair's side and that her energy at all times \"is infectious.\"

\"This year's event raised close to $2 million,\" Roberts said.

Blair shared her own photos from the night, none more special than her holding her son on the carpet. The actress has been very open on social media about the ups and downs of living with MS and Friday night was a high like no other.

\"This child,\" she wrote alongside the pic of her and her son. \"He sees me at every stage. And tonight was for him in my heart. To thank him and everyone who has rooted for me and for all of us with #MS and autoimmune disease. We thank you. We thank @sarahmgellar and @robinrobertsgma and the whole team @nancypeaceandlove has assembled in the #racetoerasems.\"

And finally, Blair's dear friend Gellar summed it up well, calling her \"the true definition of brave\" on Instagram.
