Life without limits - Fiona Christy, Dublin

I was diagnosed with asthma in my early twenties. I had a full time job and two young children so life was quite difficult. Between the cost of the medication and trying to find the right combination I had numerous quite serious attacks, resulting in a few hospital stays. I found I avoided doing certain things or going certain places.

All that has changed and is behind me now. After my last hospital stay a couple of years ago, all my medication was changed and at last I can live my life to the full and without limits. I never thought that at the age of 42 I would be jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet and skydiving over the sunshine coast of Australia.

I entered the competition to show people what is possible with asthma. Last year I did the mini marathon with my daughter(who also has asthma) and I regularly go to the gym. Persevere; find the right medication, stick with it and the sky is the limit!
