Bart Yasso started running to heal himself. He was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 1997 and experiences a lot of damage to the right side of his body. The damage he had didn't allow him to run as much as before.
By 2006 the disease had caused much damage and he suffered paralysis and extensive joint damage as a result of the illness.
