Life as an elite sportsperson means it’s rare that you take to the field or court without carrying a knock of some variety, but imagine what it’s like to try and play inter-county football while suffering with a chronic illness.
That has been the case with Clare ladies footballer, Clíodhna Blake, who made her county debut in 2018. Since then she had had three surgeries over three interrupted seasons and was eventually diagnosed as suffering with Crohn’s disease.
According to the HSE, Crohn’s disease is a chronic condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system, with symptoms including abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhoea, fatigue and weight loss, all of which affect sufferers to varying degrees.
