the stories aired, we received dozens of e-mails, phone calls,
handwritten

were contemplating ending their own lives," Roy said.

we choose to use it for a worthy cause."Roy, a Chicago area native who
graduated from Oak Park and River Forest High School and the University of
Missouri at Columbia, joined Channel 7 in 1998 from KGW-TV in Portland, Ore.

distinguished himself in particular on long-form projects.He recently
returned from Africa with a heartbreaking series of special reports on the
continent's AIDS epidemic and its impact on children. Visiting orphanages in
Kenya, he conveyed with poignant detail that the number of Africa's AIDS
orphans is expected to rise from 13 million today to 43 million by 2010.
