I met Bret Michaels in Texas and talk to him about Breast Cancer Can Stick It, an organization founded by April Samuels who is a breast cancer survior herself and professional drummer. I want to thank Bret for his love and support with wanting to help others. I am happy to bring knowledge of this organization to Bret’s attention in order to reach out and spread awareness to help people in the fight against breast cancer. Thank you for your…
Hello Mr. Edwards, I just want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Bret Michaels for sponsoring my son to go to diabetic camp. And a HUGE THANK YOU to you as well for taking care of all the preparations. My son was at camp this past week, picked him up from camp this morning. It was his first time and he LOVED IT. It brought tears of joy when he told me how much he loved it, the enthusiasm…
Ellie is off to camp this week at Camp Granada! We can’t thank Bret Michaels enough for sending her to diabetes camp! Amy P.S. I didn’t have heart to tell her after she took time on this poster, that she forgot the ‘A’ in Michaels, lol. Do you have a story of giving back, supporting charities, overcoming obstacles, a story of strength, inspiration through music to battle through setbacks or illness? We’d like to hear and share your story and…
This is my son Luke and his diabetic alert dog Jedi. Luke was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 2 years old. He has been a hero every day since then. For the last two years I have worked with his trainers at Canine Hope for Diabetics to train him to be his Diabetic Alert Dog. Jedi helps us know when his blood sugars are too high and too low which has saved Luke from countless high and…
My husband has had T1D since age 4. In 2010, my then 6 year old son was diagnosed with T1D while at Disney World. We have become a very active family in the fight for a cure and awareness of T1D. One year ago, we got a Diabetic Alert Dog. She has been an amazing tool in handling their diabetes. She can tell us that their sugars are dropping before the meters recognize it. Since getting her we have become…
I have been a fan of Bret Michaels for as long as I can remember but what I didn’t know was just how many of my life experiences he could relate to or what an inspirational person he would become for me. Even several years later when I had an opportunity to see Bret Michaels live (twice in fact, once in 2003 and again in 2006 I believe) at Burlington Steamboat Days, I still had no idea. The only thing…
I wasn’t sure if I was going to share my story or not, but I find myself inspired to open up more and more thanks to Bret and the amazing women I have met because of him. I have been a fan since the fall of 1986, there isn’t a time in my life since then that Bret’s music hasn’t been there to help me through this crazy thing called life. This summer has been no exception. Going through difficult…

Diabetes has touched my life in many ways. My mom was diagnosed as a diabetic many years ago and has struggled each day to live a healthy life. She has good days and bad days, but will certainly not give up the fight. I decided to put together a fund raiser for the Bret Michaels Foundation “Life Rocks” In order to support this cause, I have decided to ride my bike 100 miles in one day from my hometown of…
This is my little boy Tristen. He is 6 years old and has down syndrome. February 2013 Tristen was also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Because of the diagnose of down syndrome he can not communicate when hes having high or low blood sugar. We constantly poke his little fingers to test him but he always has a smile. We are in the process of getting a diabetic alert dog, his story can be found on facebook “A Guardian for…
