Irish
Rugby Union player, Ronan O'Gara was diagnosed with asthma
as a child. Speaking about growing up with asthma on the
Asthma Society of Ireland's
"Reach Your Peak with Asthma" DVD, Ronan said "Asthma
has always been an issue in my life, especially growing up,
from the ages of six to twelve, it was a big part of my life."
Ronan O'Gara has a hugely successful
rugby career. He was selected for his first Irish International
cap in the Six Nations Championship against Scotland in
February 2000. He scored a Six Nations record 30 points
against Italy and a record equalizing 10 conversions against
Japan. He is Ireland's and European Cup Competition's record
points scorer and he finished as top scorer in the 2005
and 2006 Six Nations Competition. Ronan was selected for
two British and Irish Lions tours: 2001, Australia and
2005, New Zealand - one test cap. In 2006 Ronan won a European
Cup medal with Munster and a Triple Crown success with
Ireland.
Ronan's career proves you can "reach
your peak with asthma" . In his own words, "I
think the more sport you play the healthier you become,
which in the long run benefits your asthma."
His achievements show he lives his Life Without Limits!
