VANCOUVER - Sebastien Sasseville remembers a time when he couldn't even run around the block.
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 22, the college student wasn't physically active to begin with and faced a choice — allow the disease to control his life or take charge of it himself.
"My first 'run' I think I ran for about 250 metres and that's all I could do," said Sasseville. "We all start from somewhere."
That somewhere would eventually take Sasseville, now 35, all the way across Canada after he completed a 9 1/2-month run on Friday to raise diabetes awareness and give hope to people living with the disease.
