My name is Tricia. I have been a fan of Bret Michaels and Poison since they started. In March of 2000 I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. I was having a difficult time coming to terms with everything. In June of 2000 I was lucky enough to meet Bret backstage in Toronto,ON Canada. We got to talking about Diabetes and I told him that I had just recently been diagnosed. He had so many encouraging things to say and…

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,…

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…
