Evan’s story:

“I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 11 years old,” said Gardner. “I was on holidays with my family going to Kelowna for a baseball camp and my parents suspected something was going on based on stuff that was happening during the car ride. They took me in and found out I had it.”

The Lake Country, BC product says he was scared when he first heard the news, having no idea what it would mean for his hockey career. Gardner says nurses quickly assured him that his ability to play hockey wouldn’t be impacted.

“The nurses showed me a bunch of athletes, one of them being Max Domi. I started to look up to him after I was diagnosed, read his book, and learned a bit from him because he went through the same thing growing up.”

This November for Diabetes Awareness month, I’m making time to complete the #UniteTheCircle challenge!
