Battling rare disease

A seven-year-old boy recently diagnosed with a rare disease has found an unusual prescription to deal with the illness.

There is nothing Toby McQueen loves more than karate. His coping mechanism is training to be the next "karate kid".

His mom, Tanya McQueen, said it's made a big difference--not just in his body--but in his head, and his heart.

"It helps him deal with his anger, it also helps just with the exercise part, because he's allergic to everything outside, so the exercise really helps him," she said.
