History of the Condition

The severity of Cróna's condition has significantly varied throughout her life. Still, she remains active and enjoys going to the gym, particularly for Pilates and yoga classes. Cróna also loves to travel and visit new countries during the school holidays, although this lifestyle is only possible when her asthma is consistently managed.

Cróna is an Asthma Advocate for the Asthma Society of Ireland, where she raises awareness about the condition by sharing her experiences with others. She has conducted several radio interviews and appeared on Ireland AM in 2019 as part of the Asthma Society of Ireland's "Asthma Awareness Week."

Cróna is passionate about helping others with asthma and hopes to inspire them to live their lives to the fullest despite the challenges of the condition.
