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. Pretty depressing year, but when you came to Dubuque, IA my best friend’s husband surprised us with passes to meet you because he knew I was a big fan, that was the best gift ever! 🙂 Can’t wait to see you again next year! Lorie 🙂

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….

They ran a few tests and the doctor left and came back with the tests results, she told my parents and I to go home and pack my bags, there was a room waiting on me at the hospital and to go straight there. When I got to the hospital the nurse showed me where my room was, they…

TeamBretMichaels.com / Life Rocks Foundation: Jesse’s Story
My 9 year old son, Jesse, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on Wednesday. He has always been a very healthy boy so this has really caught him, and us, a bit by surprise. My husband was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 11 years old, but having a child of my own with it is not the same. The entire medical team at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, from the ER check in clerk to the Endocrinologist Team we were assigned were wonderful!…

TeamBretMichaels.com / Life Rocks Foundation Story: Summer & Noah Find Inspiration
Dear Bret, I am a single mom who had to put my life on hold to raise my 9 year old son who was born with kidney damage. The doctors said he wasn’t supposed to survive. He is a true miracle child.
