Life without
limits - John O'Connor , Clare

From
an early age I've been interested in extreme sports. Before
my asthma became controlled I used to get wheezy and out
of breath fairly easily. However since then I've taken
up skateboarding, rollerblading, a bit of BMX and tried a
bit of surfing. I never wanted to my asthma stop me.
I guess it was more pride than anything else and I hated
not being able to go as long as my other friends. However
being the stubborn young fella that I am, I've been trying
many different extreme sports and not let asthma get in the
way. I don't like the thought of something stopping me (which
is probably why I get hurt trying the crazy stuff I see in
skate and BMX videos!) but don't just ignore it. Deal
with it and wear a helmet! |
