Nick Cannon's health video diary: Illness to recovery

Nick Cannon's health hardships in recent months may already be publicly known, but now, for the first time, the public can take an inside look at what the experience was really like. Thanks to home video footage taken during the star's multiple visits to the hospital, we now have the Ncredible Health Hustle series.

In an effort to help educate the public about kidney disease, the father of twins Monroe and Moroccan is sharing his journey from perfect health to hospitalizations. The Ncredible Health Hustle video series promises to be aired weekly, beginning with the 31-year-old's admittance for kidney failure during a family vacation in January.

Along with the first video in the series, seen above, Nick Cannon shared the following message with fans on his personal blog Monday:

Words can't express how grateful and humbled I was by the outpouring of support when I fell ill a few months ago. I realized there was no way I could fully return all the love that was -- and is still -- shown, but it doesn't mean I can't give it a try. Kidney disease and Lupus are serious ailments but, as you'll see through these videos in the coming weeks, it is possible to put the reins on it a bit and gain control of your health and wellness. I thank all of you for the continuous messages, and want you to know it inspires me to keep pushing. Hoping this series serves as inspiration for anyone dealing with kidney disease, lupus or ANY ILLNESS to keep pushing as well.

This is my Ncredible Health Hustle. Let's Go.
