CFL player John Chick will be in Humboldt Monday night.

Two-time Grey Cup champion John Chick will be in Humboldt Monday night, as he speaks at a JDRF event at the CanAlta Hotel.

Tackling Diabetes will be the focal point for the discussion, and no one knows tackling better than Chick.

Diagnosed with diabetes when he was a kid, the former Saskatchewan Roughrider turned Hamilton Tiger-Cat has kicked aside the fact that he has diabetes and paved the way for an outstanding football career.

Among the items discussed will be innovation and inspiration for people living with Type 1 diabetes, and how even though they may have it, they don't have to let it get them down.

Chick will be joined by Audrey McLelland, who will speak to the crowd at 7:00, before Chick takes the stage at 7:45.

Pre-registration for the event is encouraged, though not required. To pre-register, contact Crystal Thompson at 1-204-391-6116 or e-mail crystal.thompson@medtronic.com.
