Bret – We would like to thank you so much for sending Hunter to Camp Planet D. He had a blast and we are so grateful that he had the opportunity to experience such an amazing camp with people who live with the same disease he battles daily. He had a blast entertaining the camp with his back flips! He is ready to go back next year and is planning on becoming a counselor when he is too old to…

Bret, It was great to meet you at Rams Head in Annapolis, Maryland this week. We enjoyed the concert and the time you took with us after to discuss our son Daniel who has type 1.

I met Bret 2 years ago after a concert in Hampton Beach, NH. I had just been told I needed chemo and cried all day. My friends convinced me to still go to the concert and do a meet/greet. Even though Bret had no idea what was going on, he was so incredibly nice, nicer than I ever imagined he would be. Two years later my treatments, surgeries etc are all done I had a chance to meet him again,…
I can’t thank Bret Michaels and the Life Rocks Foundation enough for sending me to diabetes camp last summer (2013). Camp is the one thing I look forward to all year. For me camp is better than Christmas or birthdays or any other holiday. Camp is a time for me to see my friends that I’ve made there, to do fun activities, have fun, and for once feel like a “normal” kid. Since everyone at camp has diabetes, you no longer have to be embarrassed or…
Noah was just 6 years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Just beginning first grade, he now had to learn about carb counting, insulin, and diabetes in addition to what other kids his age were learning in school. Diabetes is hard on a young boy, just starting “real school”. He felt different than the other kids. The kids in school suddenly stopped inviting him to birthday parties and social events because they were afraid he couldn’t eat…
When Paige was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, we thought her life was over. We couldn’t begin to imagine how she would live a normal life. It just seemed so overwhelming. She had become slower and slower through T-ball season and could barely run the bases. We told ourselves it was because she was so little; after all, she was only five years old! But then, when she started with this insatiable thirst and waking up several times in the…
In wild anticipation we waited in line to get our wrist bands for the Bret Michaels concert. Holly, our UnityAJourneyOfHope.org wish recipient who is battling multiple myeloma sat nervously tapping her toes awaiting her chance to meet her life long inspiration. Suddenly the venue fills with excitement, BRET MICHAELS appears rockin the sold out crowd. Holly smiled from ear to ear and her exhaustion turns to instant energy. We turn around and she is chair dancing supported by her two daughters. Holly…
On behalf of all of us at MEGI, we’d like to take a moment to wish our good friend Rachel Mckibben good luck today as she enters the hospital to receive her long awaited and much hoped for kidney transplant to help save her life. After a life long diabetic fight, we are very happy to see Rachel get this opportunity made possible with the help of a live donor named Ryan. On this day we wish Rachel, Ryan and…
My name is Tracey Logan and I live in Hattiesburg, MS. Bret played here this past Sunday, Oct. 6th. My son, Brady, is 11 and was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Needless to say, it was quite a kick in the gut! I am so happy to say that we did get to meet Bret at the meet and greet after the concert in Hattiesburg, MS. I met Bret and mentioned to him that Brady was out in the parking lot….
