Bret, Just wanted to send you a huge thank you , for once again sponsoring my son Kenden to go to diabetes camp. Kenden was DX with T1 diabetes in 2009 at the age of eight. Kenden will be going to camp UTADA here in Utah . He can’t wait to go…last year he had a blast! Thank you for having such an amazing giving soul, and letting Kenden go be with other children that also have diabetes. We will…
Dearest Bret, I wrote to you about your hard work for people and kids with diabetes. Now, I come to you at a different angle. My Dad, Ronald Hugh Hall was a member of H-Troop 17th Calvary in the US Army from 1968-1971, when he went to his permanent resting place. He served a small time in Korea and 3 tours in Vietnam. It was upon that your, that he came across a land mine and was KIA. He saved…
We were at Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville, IN. My wife suffers from RA, Fibromyalgia and Lupus. She has trouble walking very far and for very long. Myself and son walked around back to where Bret was riding his motorcycle in the parking lot, he stopped to take pictures with us and talked to us like he knew us all our lives. I told him about my wife and how disappointed she was going to be having missed him. When…
I am 42 years old and have been an RN for 21 years. Even longer than that, I have been an IDDM person for 32 years and on an insulin pump since 1991. I have a laundry list of other health issues, but my miracle and my faith to hold on is in my daughter, Shelby. My brother got that opportunity to meet Bret when they went on his tour bus. I use to volunteer for the ADA and was…
I’m sending this story and photo in on behalf my friend Ruthie. She has always been an avid fan of Bret Michaels. In 1990 she had a head on collision car accident and aggravated her AVM she had since birth on the brain and has had multiple surgeries and even a stroke from her illness. In 2000 she had an AVM on her spine and was paralyzed and has partially recovered. She still has to continue to go to Arizona to see her neurosurgeon for evaluations…
Addison listening to “Jammin With Friends” on the way to diabetes camp!
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 🙂
I have been a huge Bret Michaels fan since I went to my first Poison concert. I followed every album and enjoyed many concerts over the years. I never expected to meet Bret, nor did I ever expect we would be connected in another way -Type 1 Diabetes. 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….
The middle of my 8th grade school year I went to the doctor’s office for a checkup or so I thought. 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…
