I'm running for Asthma UK to help them build awareness regarding asthma among children.
There are a number of successful sport celebrities (David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Paula Radcliffe, Scott MacLeod, Frank Lampard, Mark Spitz, Rebecca Adlington, Karen Pickering, Ian Botham and Darren Gough to name but a few) who have learned to manage their asthma through proper training and medication. A total of 20% of the British Olympic Squad in 2004 had asthma.
Young people can often be singled out in the classroom by other children and are often told that they shouldn't do sports, this is why it's important to bring the same awareness to children as is to the sports professionals. It's about inspiring individuals to overcome asthma barriers and encouraging thousands more to get involved in sport and take their medicines seriously, as we approach Olympic year 2012.
