Kateri: Camp Kid

Kateri: Camp Kid

Bret- I can’t thank you enough for sending Kateri (pronounced: kuh-teer-e) to Camp Midicha this year. She had so much fun. Reuniting with some friends from last year and making a bunch of new ones! I know that having Kateri go to camp helps her cope with the daily crap she puts up with, having this disease. Knowing there are people who are taking what God handed them and going after everything they want – not letting it stop them,…

While I grew up in the ‘80s I had only recently become a huge fan of rock music and had especially become a follower of Bret Michaels, not only because of his music but his work on being an advocate for diabetics. It was an amazing show and my husband surprised me with a VIP pass for after the show! I couldn’t believe that I…

On January 17, 2012, after her Mom made a doctor’s appointment to discuss Grace’s unexpected weight loss, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. There were other subtle signs that appeared in the weeks prior to the diagnosis and now all the pieces started to make sense. The…

“Fear Nothing” by Tristan, November 16, 2011 Hi my name is Tristin. I am 9 years old. When I was 2 years old I got really sick and the doctors told my mom and dad that I had diabetes. I can do everything other kids my age do but I also have to prick my finger to test my blood sugar 7 times a day to make sure it is not too high or worse too low. I test when…

Emmy enjoyed attending Camp AZDA

  by Emmy, Trevor and Helen Cartwright   Emmy had an amazing time at camp. It was such a great experience for her to meet with other kids her age and to meet adults living with diabetes.

We can’t thank you enough.   God Bless, Trevor and Helen Cartwright Dear Bret Michaels, Thank you for…

It was a great experience and I’m very grateful for the opportunity that you have made possible, and I hope to attend again in the future and even become a counselor as I get older. These are a…
