About Mindy Ladd
Diagnosed at birth with cystic fibrosis, Mindy grew up in Ohio. She met her husband of 18 years in college and pursued a full-time career until the birth of her daughter. Although Mindy lived most of her life in Ohio, Mindy, her husband, Mike, and their 16-year-old daughter, Abby, have lived in North Carolina for the past 12 years. In 2010, Mindy underwent a double-lung transplant and has been doing very well since. She now gets to do all the activities she loves, including pilates, yoga, tennis, and -- most importantly -- spending time with and caring for her family again.
