5. Paula Radcliffe
Asthma doesn't seem like too much of a barrier to Paula Radcliffe, who has won the London, New Work and Chicago marathons. In an interview with Asthma UK, Paula said: "I don't think asthma affected my career – if anything it made me more determined to reach my potential. If you learn to manage your asthma and take the correct medication there's no reason you shouldn't be the best."

6. Jerome Bettis
Jerome Bettis, otherwise known as 'the bus', also suffers from asthma. However, this did not stop the American football star from playing 13 seasons in the NFL (including winning the Super Bowl with the Steelers). He says, "don’t change the dreams or feel you can’t reach them because you have asthma.”
