We were at Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville, IN. My wife suffers from RA, Fibromyalgia and Lupus. She has trouble walking very far and for very long.

Last year I was in a bad motorcycle accident, shattered 3 vertebrae and my right leg. I was in a wheelchair for 4 months, had to learn to walk again and I’m still trying to heal.

Lorie 🙂

I have been a huge Bret Michaels fan since I went to my first Poison concert. I followed every album and enjoyed many concerts over the years.  I never expected to meet Bret, nor did I ever expect we would be connected in another way -Type 1 Diabetes.  My daughter, Addison, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on February 26, 2010, at the age of 5.  As a parent, it is heartbreaking and overwhelming when your child is diagnosed with this disease….
