Saskatchewan Roughrider John Chick believes in dreams, even while tackling a life-changing disease.
The 250-pound, six-foot-four defensive end is a Type 1 diabetic, meaning he needs insulin to stay alive.
"Most people just know me as a football player, but it's something I deal with. I wear an insulin pump both on and off the field," said Chick.
"It's a 24-seven disease and it's hard to handle."

That would be American football, of course, where they never kick the ball 🙂
