Summary
Just weeks before he died, Saget spent a day with CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook, speaking about his sister Gay in one of his final interviews. Gay Saget died from scleroderma, an autoimmune disease where excess collagen causes tissue to lose its elasticity, in 1994. "It's so healthy to laugh, and I'm out there doing it and I know it's healing for people." Through laughter and star power, Saget raised more than $26 million for the Scleroderma Research Foundation. "Robin Williams did the events seven times, he just, any time I asked him, he said, 'OK, chief, whatever you need,'" he said.Saget said he couldn't sit and watch what happened to his sister, happen to more people.
