Battle with Lyme disease forces John Bruce to step down as head baseball coach at Cascade Christian

"Bruce said he successfully received treatment after discovering the tick bite five years ago, but the dormant disease flared back up in 2010 and has increasingly affected his quality of life ever since. He took off part of the 2011 baseball season when a spot for specialized treatment opened up in California. He's spent half of his summers undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment at a clinic in Ventura, Calif., and traveled to the Bay Area on three occasions for treatment at the Stanford Medical Center."
