00:00 You are here to share a personal story about your sister, but before we get into it, tell me all about her.
00:05 My sister? She is such an inspiration to me.
00:13 You know, she's always been my little sis, but the way that she has handled her situation with being diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 28 is really something else.
00:28 She's kind of become the hero of the family.
00:32 And it's inspiring to me, as I said before, recalling how difficult it was to deal with getting that news and then realizing where we are now.
00:44 I think people should know that it's something that you can not only deal with, but people can have full, exciting lives.
01:00 And we didn't realize that at the outset.
01:05 And we just wanted to kind of make people aware, you know, through this campaign, live your possible. Yes.
01:16 How does she feel about you sharing her story?
01:19 She, well, she's old enough now and proud enough of herself that she agrees that people need to realize what's going on out there.
01:28 That's great.
01:29 Yeah, yeah, because she'll be at work and she'll share, you know, some of her life with someone and she sees the reaction that is still there and she quickly, you know, sets them straight.
