Same with the asthmatic who climbed mount everest. it’s called breaking barriers, overcoming obstacles..which yes, does and should bring a well deserved glory. but to say that is the only motivation, is just close minded

No one cares, unless they or a loved one have the disease. I’d rather spend that time actually helping a victim of a disease- maybe driving them to doctors or something, than kicking a gootball. Do something worthwhile- even if it garnewrs you no fame…rather than doing something which is totally pointless and of no value.
