Luca's Story

Luca's parents, Lisa and Jim, always had a feeling that something wasn't quite right with their infant son's digestive system. After seeking answers for several months, Luca's parents were devastated to learn that their then two-year-old son had cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic and life-limiting illness. Once the news set in, Lisa and Jim were determined to be the greatest advocates for Luca's health. Luca Piccolo of Burnaby is part of Champions presented by Walmart Canada, which is a Children's Miracle Network program that honours remarkable children who have triumphed despite severe medical challenges.
