Christine Ryan was born to a single mother with Cerebral Palsy and shortly after was given up to an Orphanage where she spent nearly a year in very bleak conditions. She was eventually adopted and raised on a street in the North side of Dublin, "where no-one would ever dream of going to College." When Christine turned 20, she was diagnosed with a severe form of Rheumatoid arthritis leaving her bed-ridden and in despair. Doctors told her she would never live a normal life. Christine considered giving up by giving into her diagnosis. One day, she decided to get up and live life on her own terms. You won't believe what happened next! This episode will inspire you to push past your limits and create your own luck. The Luck of the Irish! This! Is Obstacle Course. Let's Go!
Notes from Introduction
Fiona led John astray. Apparently there is a Seaside Cottage right beside the Pub. The Pub owner could have at least told me, "ohh you might be thinking of the Seaside Cottage which are right there." Which we weren't. Regardless... he makes a mean local pint.
The Sound of Confidence was a shoutout to the excellent Episode 13 with Rosemarie.

"One cannot be fulfilled by externalities." - Christine Ryan
Rhematoid Arthritus occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. There are varying degrees of the disease.
