The twins had an early interest in the medical field and decided to become nurses when they were about 12 years old after the family experienced a health crisis."My brother Hunter was diagnosed with leukemia at 16," explained Lacie.The family spent a lot of time at the hospital, seeing firsthand how much a compassionate and empathetic nurse could do to help patients and their families heal.
