A long distance runner has made his way to Colorado on his quest to run all the way across the country while battling a chronic disease.
What makes the effort even more impressive is that Doug Masiuk has Type 1 diabetes and has to manage his blood sugar the entire time.
Masiuk says the meaning behind his run is to raise awareness about diabetes in the communities he?s visiting. He started in San Francisco on May 20 and hopes to make it to New York City by November.
Masiuk?s run has taken him through the desert and triple digit heat. He has endured high winds and heavy rains.
