In 2000, Seattle lawyer Bob Dickerson was diagnosed with cancer. He was given a terminal diagnosis of 1 to 20 years. With that uncertain and gloomy future, Bob quit his job and began a life of advocacy.
Bob worked tirelessly with the charitable organization RESULTS on behalf of impoverished children across the world. He developed strong relationships with Washington state politicians and activists in order to push for global change.
Bob's brother, Willie Dickerson, remembers his brother speaking passionately about his work.
"He said often, 'Even if there were only a thousand children dying every day, if one of them was mine, I would sure want to do something about it,'" he remembers.
Bob passed away in June 14, 2015 at home with his family. Gabriel Spitzer talks to Willie about his brother Bob and why Bob never regretted his decision to live out his life the way he did.
