Sometimes the most powerful message each of us can share is our personal story -- our own experience. With upcoming healthcare legislation pending, one way we can be advocates is to share these stories. We want to hear from you. Post a journal entry with a video about yourself: your triumphs, your struggles, your healthcare, your story.

Video is powerful because it puts a face to your words. Photos and videos, connected with the words in Inspire can create a powerful message for others. Healthcare is personal, no matter your politics. This is about you and your life.

Please post your message in June so we can show the world that our Inspire family has some very powerful things to say and share. Thank you.

--Team Inspire

Some guidelines for your videos:
- Please refrain from sharing your political views- this is not about politics- but about your story.
- You do not need to share your name or any personal information.
