Sebastien Sasseville aims to set example that illness can?t slow people down
It?s not a stretch to refer to Sebastien Sasseville as a world-class athlete. He?s had a career as a triathlete. He?s stood atop Mount Everest. Now he?s going to run across the country, starting with a casual jog across the island of Newfoundland in balmy February.
Sasseville?s life turned into one of extreme fitness after he was diagnosed with Type I diabetes when he was 22. He describes himself at that point in his life as being a typical college kid.
?Spending more time at the pub than at the gym,? he laughs.
