The tweet received more than 15,000 likes and over 4,000 replies wishing Hammond a happy birthday. Within hours, “Happy Birthday Sarah" trended on the social media website due to the amount of well-wishes.

Responding to the outpouring of comments, Hammond said, “I'm taking tomorrow off work. Joking, I only started last week. But I will be taking time out to thank everyone who's messaged me, some have brought a tear to my eye, many have made me smile. My spirit is already lifted."

We hope Sarah has a happy birthday!
