I am a life-long asthma sufferer. I have nearly lost my life more times that I can recall from this condition. And yet, I have found ways to maintain my illness through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, which in turns allows me to exercise more, which in turn, improves my condition. I still have seasonal and infection (sinus) triggers that have a big impact and I get very ill occasionally. But when I am healthy, I take full advantage.

That is awesome! What an inspiration. Welcome to AAFA's online communities. Stop by our asthma support forum to introduce yourself and get support from others who deal with asthma.
That is a powerful story ... very encouraging! I've just started a topic on daily exercise to encourage us to get out there -- and also to keep us accountable. I'd love to have someone with your dedication and passion for exercise along for the ride -- I surely could use an excuse buster!
A truly inspiring story! The Ironman is a great accomplishment, and to do so as an asthma sufferer is just so amazing! It is so great to see all the crowd behind you, cheering you on and supporting your efforts. Way to go Cathy way to #TackleAsthma!
Thank you! Here is a video of the finish. It's a few minutes long but it's pretty exciting. I missed the cutoff by 23 seconds, but it didn't matter. Watch all the way to the end and see what happens! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndY9xptZI9w

Awwwww, sorry! It's a fun cry though, isn't it? :-) Such amazing people out there in this world. We located the athlete who gave me his medal and he and I corresponded for quite some time. He even added a "guest blogger" entry on my blog. Can't believe it has been nearly four years. :-)
It's in the original picture post. The link is there at the end of my commentary. I haven't written on it in years but I do walk people through my journey (including details of my first lung collapse as a result of asthma) and how I maintain my asthma now. I'm a bit verbose. :-)
