Doctors and physical therapists weren’t sure what to tell Marcy and Tom Lasley when their second child came into the world in1982. Cameron Lasley was born with Down syndrome, and in those first days, pediatricians didn’t know whether he would walk or talk or do anything other kids do. These days, Cam Lasley does more than walk and talk. He is a talented rapper who has released a number of albums and continues to create music that speaks of his personal journey.
