They have lost three sons to a rare genetic disease. Michael (age 18) died in 2009, Daniel (also 18) died in 2013, and Simon (16) died in December 2018. Along with a fourth son, Christopher, 26, all were born with a rare condition called PCH Type 1, a combination of cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.  The Cabrals have four other daughters and one son, all healthy.
