You Can Do This – Mike Durbin
So, here is my contribution to the You Can Do This Project, which is the brain child of Kim over at Texting My Pancreas . The video is kind of long, but I had a lot that I wanted and, quite frankly, needed to say. And I would highly recommend having a box of tissues handy before hitting the play button.

Mike,
This is one of the more powerful first-person “in the trenches” videos I have seen, detailing what it is like to battle two diseases. Your motivating remarks and emotional transparency really make this work. With a strong support network, even this huge burden you have on your shoulders is doable. Mike, you can do it because you are doing it!
Carry on,
Carmen
