Jackie Joyner Kersee & Ron Erken Jackie Joyner-Kersee Talks about Managing Asthma and Living an Active Life in Today's Day & Age for National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month More than 22 million Americans are living with asthma today, but in spite of the many advances in the management of asthma, more than half are not breathing easy. In fact, one-quarter or two million of all emergency room visits each year are due to asthma. Stories like Jackie Joyner-Kersee's and other active figures managing asthma successfully have shown that you can lead a full and healthy life with this chronic condition. But in order to lead a vigorous life, managing the condition, avoiding attack triggers, and compliance with treatment is essential, facts that many Americans ignore. Last year, more than 12 million Americans reported having an asthma attack, and the condition accounted for an estimated 13 million lost school days for children and 10 million lost work days for adults. Jackie Joyner-Kersee has been living with asthma for over 20 years, and is available to share her personal story, provide encouragement to the millions of Americans who manage the disease, and talk about the latest resources available to people living with asthma, with or without insurance. Like many Americans, Jackie lived in denial of her condition at first. Over the past decade, she's taken her asthma seriously and manages it every day, keeping her asthma under control. Jackie has joined five other Olympic legends to provide encouragement to the millions of Americans who, like them, receive treatment for chronic and complex medical conditions. This "Tour of Champions" includes other world-renowned Olympic gold medal athletes such as Bob Beamon, Peggy Fleming, Bruce Jenner, Greg Louganis and Mark Spitz. The tour is sponsored by Medco, the nation's largest mail-order pharmacy. About Jackie Joyner-Kersee: Jackie Joyner-Kersee is a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, four-time World Champion and current heptathlon record-holder, and was named the "Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century" by Sports Illustrated for Women. At the age of 18, while competing as a college athlete at UCLA Jackie was diagnosed with asthma and spent many years living in denial of her condition. About National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month: Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) declares May to be "National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month." It's a peak season for asthma and allergy sufferers, and a perfect time to educate patients, family, friends, co-workers and others about these diseases.

Champions Never Never Never Never Never Never Never....Quit! http://www.Top3PercentFormula.com "Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and you can never tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit. Its when things seem worse, that you must not quit." -Unknown "I know the greatest thing you can do in your life is never never never quit! Because when we rise again after failure or hard times, we have performed the most difficult act, and in the process we gain divine characteristics such as charity and service and love for others. No matter how hard things may seem, remember to not give up no matter what and you will be a Champion forever!" -Tim McGaffin "I hated every minute of the training, but I said, Dont Quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." -Muhammad Ali "God will never give you a dream or a wish without also giving you the power to make that dream or wish come true." -Tim McGaffin Tags: michael jackson jordan karl malone john stockton larry bird carl lewis jackie joyner kersee gold medal magic johnson charles barkley chris mullin patrick ewing tim mcgaffin scottie pippen david robinson clyde drexler christian latener phelps chuck daly dream team barcelona 1992 paul pierce celtics jazz bulls lakers moonwalk muhammed ali |
