Bret- I can’t thank you enough for sending Kateri (pronounced: kuh-teer-e) to Camp Midicha this year. She had so much fun. Reuniting with some friends from last year and making a bunch of new ones! I know that having Kateri go to camp helps her cope with the daily crap she puts up with, having this disease. Knowing there are people who are taking what God handed them and going after everything they want – not letting it stop them,…
These pictures below were take at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa. This was a very special concert because I had just started chemo for breast cancer a month earlier. My family and friends decided to go to the concert dressed like Bret so I wouldn’t feel out of place with no hair. We had shirts made that said ‘Bret’s Girls’ and on the back they said ‘Fight Like A Girl’. October is breast cancer awareness month and I…

In March of 2010 I attended my first Bret Michaels concert in Green Bay Wisconsin. While I grew up in the ‘80s I had only recently become a huge fan of rock music and had especially become a follower of Bret Michaels, not only because of his music but his work on being an advocate for diabetics. It was an amazing show and my husband surprised me with a VIP pass for after the show! I couldn’t believe that I…
