VANCOUVER - Sebastien Sasseville remembers a time when he couldnt even run around the block. Lorenzo Carter Jersey .Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 22, the college student wasnt 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 thats 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.Its not about running fast, its not about running across Canada, Sasseville said after completing the trek of more than 7,500 kilometres on World Diabetes Day. Its about making that first step and making that conscious decision that my lifes going to be great, I want to set high goals, I want to pursue my dreams.The run is all about making that conscious choice, taking control, owning your disease and taking every necessary step to manage it properly.Its estimated 300,000 Canadians have Type 1 diabetes, which results from the bodys immune system destroying the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. With little or no natural insulin, the body cant regulate how it uses and stores sugar, meaning injections are needed several times a day to prevent a buildup of sugar in the bloodstream.Ive learned so much this year. Overcoming Type 1 diabetes is all about overcoming obstacles, said Sasseville, who lives in Quebec City. Thats the message I wanted to get across — get up, work hard, set high goals, dont give up and live a life thats inspired.Type 1 diabetes differs from the more common Type 2 form in which the body becomes resistant to insulin or the pancreas doesnt produce enough of the hormone.Three million people in Canada live with a form of diabetes, said Sasseville. Its an important day and I really hope that people who live with diabetes across Canada will be inspired by the run.Sasseville was greeted in Vancouvers Stanley Park by a throng of screaming school children and supporters, including his parents, girlfriend and sister.I could have never dreamed of running across Canada 10 years ago, said Sasseville, his feet still wet after walking into English Bay. To have done it that way where the whole focus was on a cause, on a message — not necessarily on a guy running — that was a blessing.Also in attendance was Patrick St. Martin, Sassevilles best friend and driver who lived with the runner in an RV ever since the pair left St. Johns, N.L., on Feb. 2.To see the impact we can have on kids, on people, its just amazing. Were all overwhelmed with what is happening right now, said St. Martin. Its 9 1/2 months on the road. Canadas a long country. There were obviously times when we would feel a little bit lonely, but events like (Friday) and meeting people, its just crazy. Its amazing how powerful it is and how impactful the run is on people.The duo said they remain close after all that time together, adding there wasnt a single argument while on the road.We had some hard days, of course, said Sasseville. Its 180 marathons that you run on sore legs ... some doubts, some tough days, but thats when it really counts. Discipline only counts when you dont feel like going for a run.Added St. Martin: We had one goal in mind (and) it was to inspire people. I think that was what drove us to do it the right way.Sasseville took part in dozens of events across the country, but it was a boy from Windsor, Ont., who left him with a lasting impression.Jack Poisson, who also has Type 1 diabetes, met Sasseville when he came to town and the pair kept in touch by phone throughout the run.He was such an intelligent kid and very inspiring himself, said Sasseville. I think Jack represents a whole generation of kids living with Type 1 diabetes that are hoping to live a full life. (They) may have doubts and fears, but I think with events like the run across Canada, if we can get to them and let them know Hey youre going to be able to live the life you want, thats cool.Poisson — who took his support of Sasseville even further, raising more than $2,700 by asking for donations instead of birthday presents and also fundraising at his school — was at the finish line with his family to cheer on his hero.Its my first time in Vancouver, said Poisson. It really means a lot to me because I get to see one of my good friends finish running across Canada.Sasseville has also taken part in Ironman events, raced across the Sahara Desert and was the first Canadian with Type 1 diabetes to reach the summit of Mount Everest, but accomplishing this feat intrigued him.I found running across Canada very interesting, he said. I knew there would be a lot of challenges with that, but that was the pull. You always learn great stuff when you give yourself the gift of maybe failing.Sasseville said the feeling he had Friday was better than the one experienced after conquering Mount Everest in 2008.Mount Everest is all about you. You get to the top and its a personal achievement, he said. Whereas ... that feeling of having built something and having thousands of people being a part of it — that is priceless.For a man who seems set on pushing his limits, Sasseville is content to relax — at least for a little while.Rest, sleep, steak, he said of the comforts he missed while on road. Its all the little things. I miss a warm shower that lasts more than five minutes. Connor Barwin Jersey . Portland won Game 4 Sunday night at the Moda Center and are now up 3-1. The last time the Blazers won a playoff series came in the 2000 Western Conference semifinals against the Utah Jazz. John Jenkins Jersey . They kicked off the still-going trend of host cities winning the Grey Cup and sent Hall of Fame head coach Wally Buono to the front office a champion. http://www.cheapgiantsjerseyssale.com/?tag=ereck-flowers-jersey-sale . Even that couldnt slow them down against the New Orleans Hornets. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook scored 31 points apiece and the Thunder overcame injuries to two key backups to beat New Orleans 101-93 Monday night for their 10th straight home win.ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Memphis Grizzlies have a magic number when it comes to making the playoffs -- and they hit it on Wednesday night. Zach Randolph had 20 points, Courtney Lee added 17 and the Memphis Grizzlies held off the Orlando Magic 86-81 for their 29th win of the season. The Grizzlies have made the playoffs every season when they win 29 or more games before the All-Star break. Theyve also never made the post-season when winning fewer than 29 games before the seasons midpoint. The Grizzlies led by as many as 13 points in the second half before having to fight off several Magic runs down the stretch. They survived, but did lose centre Marc Gasol in the third quarter when he limped off the court after aggravating a left knee injury. "We just stuck with it was the most important thing," Grizzlies forward Tayshaun Prince said. "When Marc went out, everybody was kind of hurt by it. ... But this is definitely a good win going into the break." Gasol didnt appear to be in a lot of pain, but he will have an MRI on the knee as a precaution. Grizzlies coach David Joerger said afterward that he is optimistic. "Im really proud of our first half of the season, and then to come out and lose Marc for a little bit -- hopefully not a lot," he said. Memphis beat the Magic for the sixth straight time and enters the break having won eight of its last 11. Nik Vucevic had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Magic. Tobias Harris added 13 points. But they committed 14 turnovers that led to 19 Memphis points. Orlando had won three straight and five in a row at home. "It was our game, I thought, right there. We let one slip away," Harris said. Following the Grizzlies win over Washington on Tuesday, Joerger acknowledged his team was mentally tired. It showed as the game wore on Wednesday against Orlando. First they lost Gasol, then after leading by as many as 13 points in the first half, the Magic stormed back and briefly took the lead in the third quarter. Orlando trailed by three entering the final period. Magic coach Jacque Vaughn began the fourth with the young, quick lineup of Harris, Victor Oladipo, ETwaaun Moore, Maurice Harkless and Kyle OQuinn that had been so effective in back-to-back wins, over Oklahoma City and Indiana Orlando surged at the outset, but Memphis weathered the rally and got two free-throws from Randolph that put the Grizzlies up 78-77 with 4 minutes to play. Wholesale Giants Jerseys Online. Memphis was leading 80-79 when Jameer Nelsons 3-pointer bounced off the back of the rim and was rebounded by the Grizzlies. Lee got it and raced into the front court before a clear-path foul was called on Arron Afflalo with 35.7 seconds left. The call was upheld after an official review. Lee connected on both free throws to make it 82-79. Memphis retained possession and wound down the clock before getting Randolph free in the paint for a layup to stretch the lead to five. The Magic called timeout, but they could only muster a long 3-pointer on the other end by Oladipo that caromed off the backboard and was rebounded by Memphis. The final review was one of three in the final 1:26 of the game. "The refs did the right thing in going back and looking at a couple of them so if it happens, Id rather have them go back and look at it than just make the call and stick with it," Lee said. "One of them, they gave us the ball and another one was a clear-path foul. So it was 2 for 3. Ill take it." Vaughn said hes looking forward to seeing how his team responds with six of their first seven on the road after the break. "I think we get an immediate test," Vaughn said. "Back to the grind we go and a great challenge for our group to see if we can take some of the things we learned at home ... and see if we can kind of duplicate it on the road." Joerger said the break is coming at the perfect time. "Were exhausted. Were making mistakes toward the ends of games that are just mental mistakes ... those are exhaustion mistakes," he said. "It was a slugfest, I thought at halftime maybe wed get to 84. We got 86 so Im fired up." NOTES: The Grizzlies improved to 6-4 this season in the second night of a back-to-back. ...
