Identical 24-Year-Old Twins Face Six-Month AML Prognosis, Seek Lifesaving Overseas Treatment

TL;DR Summary
Identical twins Caitlin Leggett and Grace Leggett, both 24, confront a recurrence of acute myeloid leukemia that has given Caitlin a six-month prognosis; Grace has started a GoFundMe to fund overseas, life-saving treatments not available in the UK, including another bone marrow transplant. The sisters learned they are identical after Caitlin’s diagnosis, which also meant Grace could not donate stem cells. Caitlin’s treatment journey includes chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and Differentiation Syndrome, and the fund’s goal reflects the urgent need for options abroad as Caitlin fights to stay connected with her twin and their family.
