Kateri: Camp Kid

Kateri: Camp Kid

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,…

Tristan: Camp Kid

We thanked Bret for sending Tristin to camp in June and gave him a thank you letter which I am attaching that also has some pics taken at camp. I will send those as well. Anyway Bret was so touched when he learned that Tristin was able to change his site for the very first time by himself at camp and also change site spots…that he hugged Tristin and asked him if he could send him back to camp a…

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…

Profound Yet Amazing…..

Profound Yet Amazing…..

Grace is 8. She turned 8 last November. Who could have imagined that the normalcy that existed on her 8th birthday would change in such a profound way in just 2 months. On January 17, 2012, after her Mom made a doctor’s appointment to discuss Grace’s unexpected weight loss, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. There were other subtle signs that appeared in the weeks prior to the diagnosis and now all the pieces started to make sense. The…

Crystal’s Story

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 test 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…

Your Story: Jeremy

Given Hope by Bret’s Story by Elizabeth Husk, November 15, 2011 Dear Mr. Michaels: I never knew much about diabetes until March 4, 2011. That was the day, my life changed forever. The day started out with our 3 year old son, Jeremy, throwing up and having flu like symptoms (before that he looked thinner to me, was wetting the bed, drinking more water, and chewing on his sleeve). I went to work and around 10:00 my husband called me,…

Your Story: Neel

A diagnosis, a new life by Neel Jadeja, November 16, 2011 I have been a Poison fan since I was 12 and saw them in Charlotte opening for David Lee Roth years ago. I never grew up a musician, but when I was 19, a friend wanted me to join his band and play drums. That was in 1995 and the band was Sunny Ledfurd. In 2001 we were signed to MCA Records and toured with Godsmack, Deftones, tons of…
