Israel Del Toro about the battle scars over most of his body and his unwavering determination, the countless patients who got a deadly melanoma diagnosis because I shared mine, the mothers of murdered or missing children who sat with me and revealed the depths of their unimaginable pain, the protests, the elections, and the tragic death of my co-anchor Don Ward.
