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….
My name is Laura and this past August, my childhood friend Diane and I went to see Bret in Obetz, Ohio. We had grown up loving Poison! We were recently reunited and Diane just underwent a successful surgery for bone cancer so it only seemed right that to celebrate we meet Bret together! The music from your youth always holds a special place in your memories and Bret was a big part of those years for us. Even more special…
Dear Patrick, Bret and Janna (PB&J), If it wasn’t for you, Laramie would never have experienced diabetes camp. We can’t thank you guys enough, we really can’t. Attached are two pictures… Love, Melissa and Laramie
Dear Bret, This was my 6th year of going to camp at camp Aldersgate where I had an amazing time! This year at camp my goal was to insert my own pump site and my mom was thrilled when she came to pick me up and I had done it all week! I know at camp I can be myself and no one judges me, we are all the same! I plan to become a counselor after my last year of camp, I want…
On July 6, 2013, My friend who is a huge Bret Michaels fan found out the he was having a concert at a festival in Arlington Heights, Illinois and insisted that we go. So we got a babysitter for our children and off to the concert. My daughter Alyssa was upset that she was not going since she is also a big fan of Bret Michaels. She watched him on celebrity apprentice. She was amazed on his commitment to raising…
Dear Bret and The Life Rocks Foundation, Thanks so much for sponsoring my son Kenden for diabetes camp again this year, he attended camp UTADA here in Utah. He was somewhat nervous about going again, but when we picked him up he was all smiles. All the other children that he met there all hugged him goodbye. I have never met such amazing loving children. Once again he has met some friends for life. We got to listen to all…
Bret, I cannot thank you enough. There aren’t enough words to describe the gratitude we feel toward you for sending our daughter to diabetes camp. In the month before camp, Lauren (9 y o) was in what I call a “dark place about her having diabetes”. Many tears were shred about her denial or rejection of T1. She was diagnosed at 3 1/2 years old. She is in a school with no other T1’s . 360 days a year she stands out. The 5…
Dear Bret, My daughter Mikayla was able to attend diabetes summer camp due to your generous scholarship from the Bret Michaels Foundations. Diagnosed at 6, Mikayla is almost 9 and dealing with Type I diabetes on a daily basis. She is extremely happy at diabetes camp where she is “like the rest”, feels safe and can be the active and energetic near 9 year old you see in the pictures. I also volunteer as a Registered Dietitian for the week…
