Inspiration

Brett Michaels has had diabetes since he was six years young. He has recently joined The American Diabetes Association and is working to raise awareness about the disease. I found this information from Google Alerts. I hadn't considered the fact that even celebrities might have diabetes. I looked up some other celebrities that have diabetes and I saw the names: Nick Jonas, Halle Berry, and Elvis Presley. Diabetes hasn't stoped these celebrities from becoming the people that they are or.. were. If I were a diabetic this fact would inspire me. I imagine that hearing the words "You are a diabetic." would feel like a punch in the gut. I would also feel anxious about what else lies ahead of my health life. I think that Brett Michaels joining The American Diabetes Association is great because he is supporting the many people who are just like him.
