I was diagnosed at the age of 5 as a Juvenile Diabetic and I lived a very sick but happy life. I felt as if my diabetes was a blessing because I came in contact with so many people and as a matter of fact I became an inspiration to many, because I lived my life as if I was the healthiest person on earth. At the age of 36 which was 3 months before my wedding, was diagnosed with…

Each year on 9/11 we pay tribute to the lives lost and forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001. Below is the video that we created on the 10th anniversary. We will never forget.
In remembrance of 9/11, the following photos are from Bret’s visit to the memorial site in New York City. Bret and MEGI VP Janna Elias at 9/11 memorial site Bret and tour manager Rob Stevenson at 9/11 memorial site
My daughter Aramie has been Type 1 since she was 3 yrs old. She is now 9. She was thrilled to get the Bret Michaels “Chance” doll at PetSmart & even more excited to meet Bret. She made him a gift telling Bret about herself. As you can see, the experience wore her out! Thank you Bret for making my sugar baby’s day and thank you Bret for all you do for JDRF & children like my daughter. You are…
Dear Patrick, Bret and Janna (PB&J), If it wasn’t for you, Laramie would never have experienced diabetes camp. We can’t thank you guys enough, we really can’t. Attached are two pictures… Love, Melissa and Laramie
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…
Dear Bret, This was my 6th year of going to camp at camp Aldersgate where I had an amazing time! This year at camp my goal was to insert my own pump site and my mom was thrilled when she came to pick me up and I had done it all week! I know at camp I can be myself and no one judges me, we are all the same! I plan to become a counselor after my last year of camp, I want…
Today was my Mom’s 4th chemo treatment in her battle against breast cancer, she has 12 more treatments and 6 weeks of radiation left to go. Today as she finished her last “hard” chemo she said I wish this was a reality show and Bret michaels would show up to “Rock My Chemo”. Thought it was cute and funny and just had to share. Sincerely, Missy
Colton Nelson was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three years ago on 8/23/13. He was 12 years old at the time. Every year since, he has been involved in raising money for JDRF for research to find a cure. The first three years he has done the JDRF Walk for a Cure, but this year he stepped it up a notch. A very BIG notch. This year he participated in the JDRF 100 mile Bike for a Cure that was…
