Stories of taking control of health issues and wellness.
Hello Mr. Edwards, I just want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Bret Michaels for sponsoring my son to go to diabetic camp. And a HUGE THANK YOU to you as well for taking care of all the preparations. My son was at camp this past week, picked him up from camp this morning. It was his first time and he LOVED IT. It brought tears of joy when he told me how much he loved it, the enthusiasm…
Dear Bret, Months ago suicide was on my mind daily. I was in a deep hole of depression due to what life had thrown my way in a 10 month time frame. June 10, 2013 I suffered a stroke. Fortunately it wasn’t the type you had suffered, but I am left with residuals of tripping over my own two feet and forgetting common words. Small price to pay I know. September 29, 2013 my Mom died of ovarian cancer, I…
Bret, Nicole and I traveled from NJ to Webster, MA to bring an old high school friend, 2X Iraq War Veteran with pancreatic cancer to see you. She was coming from Portland, Maine and her wish was to see you before her surgery on Wednesday 9/17. Unfortunately, her bus had trouble and she never made it to the show in time to see you. You were nice enough to sign an autograph to her and we promised to get her…

This summer has been no exception. Going through difficult…
Hard to believe a whole year has gone by! I wish I didn’t have to write this letter, because it means a cure hasn’t been found yet. Maybe this is the year!

It was a life-changing experience, and I want to be a role model and…
