Diabetes Community Event

Tim Doherty is hosting a Diabetes Community Event in the Bolero Suite at the Motorpoint Arena after our game with Fife Flyers this Friday (13th March).

The Panthers forward has Type 1 Diabetes and the event is open to anyone who has been diagnosed with diabetes or has been affected by diabetes.

Doherty said: "This is something I have been thinking about ever since I joined the Panthers.

"Millions of people around the world have diabetes and I am keen to share my experiences of managing diabetes while playing for the Panthers.

"I was able to meet a pro hockey player when I was first diagnosed with diabetes and it inspired me that diabetes can’t hold me back from anything.

"Everyone has a different story to tell and I just felt it was important we all got together to share our experiences."

The event will take place after our game with Fife on Friday.

Please note there will be a short delay while Tim changes and has his post-game meal but proceedings will get under way as quickly as possible.

Your order confirmation email, showing number of tickets, will need to be shown to gain entry to the event.
