Clint Bleich is a diabetic who lives in the Hart neighbourhood, a tight-knit community along the John Hart Highway on the northern outskirts of Prince George.

He has been dealing with diabetes-related complications for the past few years. Nerve damage caused him to lose his toes in 2021 and this September he lost his lower leg to amputation.

But Bleich says despite his health challenges, he’s found strength in giving back to the community that has supported him.

“The reason I wanted to help was because when I started going through my troubles, my health struggles, you soon realize who your real friends are,” he said. “Things got really, really tough for me and the strangers that stepped up and helped me just made me want to give back.”
