Team Lakeland skiers overcoming adversity at Sask Winter Games
Every athlete has to go through some sort of adversity while they compete. But for Jazmin Boyer, her adversity starts as soon as she gets out of bed.
Boyer, a 10-year-old cross-country skier representing Team Lakeland at this year’s Sask Winter Games, is battling through Type I Diabetes.
“It’s kinda hard, you gotta do your stuff before you start skiing,” said Boyer. “I have to poke before I go to see if my blood sugar’s good or not.
“If it’s good, then I get to go skiing.”
