The Cady Family does not let cystic fibrosis rule their lives. Josh and Sarah Cady's 2-year-old, Lucas, was born with CF, a life-threatening genetic disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. But the disorder has just become an everyday part of their lives. Lucas does his breathing treatments, but he still swims, plays in the dirt and acts like any other toddler. The family has also found a way to give back. They've enrolled in a research study at Cincinnati Children's because they want to be part of finding a cure. This is their story.
