Juleah and Gianna Puccinelli share a lot more than DNA These
identical twins just began college together this year with the
support of a Marianjoy Scholarship Their relationship with
Marianjoy started when they were just two years old As a
result of a premature birth at only 26 weeks the girls were
born with Cerebral Palsy At the time of their birth premature
babies born at 25 weeks had a 50 percent chance of survival
and a 50 percent chance of having a disability The statistics
have since improved
The Puccinellis chose Marianjoy
for all of Juleah and Giannarsquos
rehabilitation needs including
physical occupational and
aquatic therapy They also
received custom orthotics
at a young age to help their
situational balance and muscle
tightness issues Both girls say
that Marianjoyrsquos support has been instrumental throughout
their lives ldquoI never felt like just another patient at Marianjoyrdquo
says Gianna ldquoThe doctors and therapists donrsquot stop caring
about your improvement when the appointment is overrdquo Even
though they no longer need triweekly therapy sessions they
still come back for check-ups and advice
Now excelling in college both girls say that their journey with
Marianjoy inspired their career choicesmdashGianna in nursing
and Juleah in communications ldquoMarianjoy has taught us what
it means to be surrounded by people who make it their job to
care and make it easy to work hardrdquo says Juleah ldquoWe both
want to pass that care and compassion on to others toordquo
