Asthma affects one out of 14 children in America. Sara Wohl felt that her son Cameron's constant respiratory infections were caused by more than just the normal childhood virus -- but she and her husband were not prepared for the idea that their young toddler had asthma.

Asthma runs in Jen Ulstad's family but she still didn't recognize the warning signs in herself. It wasn't until it began to affect her basketball that she sought treatment -- but now with aggressive treatment her asthma is under control and she's running down the court to another basketball season with her coach's blessing.

Although the onset of asthma is most common before the age of 40, it can affect anyone anytime. Donna and Bob Froelich are two seniors who enjoy an active life full of golf and all the other things they love thanks to treatment and a recognition of the triggers of their asthma.
