TeamBretMichaels.com Story: Family Thanks Bret For Sending Hannah To Diabetes Summer Camp

TeamBretMichaels.com Story: Family Thanks Bret For Sending Hannah To Diabetes Summer Camp

Our daughter Hannah was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just after her 6th birthday 6-19-08. There have been many ups and downs in the last 5 1/2 yrs. Hannah has been a trooper. She did not like the routine of 5 or more shots per day and wanted to be on the insulin pump. Two weeks before her 7th birthday, she was put on it. She was then later taken off of it (2-13) because of dosing herself causing hypoglycemia. She was having a hard…

TeamBretMichaels.com Story: Abby Thanks Bret For Sending Her To Diabetes Camp

My name is Abby and this past summer I had the privilege of getting to meet you at your concert in Charlotte, North Carolina. I’m fourteen years old and living with the challenges of Type 1 Diabetes and you generously sponsored me to go to the best camp I’ve ever been to in my life. I have never been to diabetes camp until this year and it greatly exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to go back and see all…

TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: Paige Builds Lasting Friendships At Diabetes Camp

I can’t thank Bret Michaels and the Life Rocks Foundation enough for sending me to diabetes camp last summer (2013). Camp is the one thing I look forward to all year. For me camp is better than Christmas or birthdays or any other holiday. Camp is a time for me to see my friends that I’ve made there, to do fun activities, have fun, and for once feel like a “normal” kid. Since everyone at camp has diabetes, you no longer have to be embarrassed or…

TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: Ellie Gets Ready For Diabetes Camp

Our daughter Ellie was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on March 2, 2010 at the age of 4. We had NO knowledge or experience with diabetes at the time of her diagnosis, so it came as a complete shock! After 4 days in the hospital, where we went through the phases of shock, fear, acceptance, and planning, we were released to learn how to care for our daughter, and to help her accept and live life to her fullest. Ellie…

TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: Noah “The Diabetes Dude” & His Flamingo

Noah was just 6 years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.  Just beginning first grade, he now had to learn about carb counting, insulin, and diabetes in addition to what other kids his age were learning in school. Diabetes is hard on a young boy, just starting “real school”.  He felt different than the other kids.  The kids in school suddenly stopped inviting him to birthday parties and social events because they were afraid he couldn’t eat…

My name is Tracey Logan and I live in Hattiesburg, MS. Bret played here this past Sunday, Oct. 6th. My son, Brady, is 11 and was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Needless to say, it was quite a kick in the gut! I am so happy to say that we did get to meet Bret at the meet and greet after the concert in Hattiesburg, MS. I  met Bret and mentioned to him that Brady was out in the parking lot….

I applaud Bret for all the work he does in fighting diabetes. My 13 year old grandson has had Type 1 for about 9 years now, fights everyday to stay alive, and we pray for the cure to come as soon as possible. He has a pump but still has many highs and lows. He has had seizures, hypoglocemia, and has had an opportunity to go to a diabetes camp, once, in New York State. It is a 24/7 job…
