This is a story about my son Chris. He is 14 years old. Chris was diagnosed when he was nine years old – January 4, 2008. We were so lucky that our doctor picked up on the signs and got the help Chris needed right away. Chris was in the hospital for five days. My husband and I were in a state of shock yet put on a brave face and learned as much as we could about Type 1…

Greetings! A year ago, our son, Carson (Type 1 Diabetic since age 4), had the amazing opportunity to meet Bret on his 5th birthday on November 5. Bret and the entire Bret Michaels group made quite an impression on Carson and our entire family. Carson continues to talk about Bret and has said that one of the things he wants to do when he gets older is be a rockstar! He still continues to say “Bret Michaels and I are…
Hi Bret, I have just come across this site and I wanted to say THANK YOU for the attention you have brought to this disease. My son Branson is 9 and he was diagnosed at age 5. He is truly my hero , until last summer he was racing motocross only to quit to play football. He has never used diabetes as an excuse to quit anything, he is a straight A student and is wise beyond his years. Through this he has taught me…
Our daughter Rachel has been a diabetic for 25 years now and unfortunately, it has taken a toll on her body. She is blind, in kidney failure, on dialysis and lost half of her left leg due to this horrible disease. Last summer, Rachel had the honor and privilege to meet Bret and Patrick at his concert and had the time of her life. Not to long ago, Rachel was in the hospital and received a very special call from Bret and Patrick. They gave…
Dear Bret, We just wanted to send you a HUGE THANK YOU for sending my son Kenden to diabetes camp. I did not say anything to Kenden when I sent in the application and when Patrick called me to tell me that you would be sending Kenden to camp I was about to cry, but I held it together on the phone. After Patrick and I hung up, I had to sit down and take it all in, overwhelmed I…

My name is Summer. I am 6 years old and on Feb 4, 2013 I found out that I had Type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism. I think that is the same age as Bret when he found out. My Grandpa has had Type 1 for the last 25 years so myself and my mom were very familiar with diabetes. (My mom says thats why I was so brave in the hospital.) The doctors told my family that I had it only…
Dear Bret, First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH for sending me to camp!! My mom was so excited to tell me she had met you and that you offered to send me to camp. I couldn’t believe it. I had just been diagnosed for six months when she met you, so it was very emotional for us. Thank you so much. I just got back a couple days ago. The day I got back I got to go to…
