ASHTON AND HIS TWIN BROTHER
Ashton and Michael’s bond began at birth, as they were fraternal twins. However, Michael was born much smaller than Ashton.
Despite the conditions, he made it through thanks to his unwavering will to live and the efforts of exceptional medical personnel. When Michael was 13, he suffered from developmental challenges and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy before starting kindergarten.
Sadly, when Ashton and his twin brother were 13, Michael was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy. The disease caused his heart to expand four times its normal size.
Before finding a heart donor, Ashton wished he could donate his heart to his twin brother.
ASHTON’S TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL
In 2017, Ashton gave an emotional homage to his twin brother while accepting the Robert D. Ray Pillar of Character Award. He stated that Michael’s experience with cerebral palsy taught him that loving others is not an option and that not all individuals are made equal.
Ashton and Michael have had extraordinary separate journeys; nonetheless, they are always there for one another. Fortunately, they have accomplished a lot in their lives and inspired others with their actions.
