Born at just 23 weeks and weighing barely a pound each, twin brothers Akenji and Asanti faced overwhelming odds from their very first moments. Thanks to research-based care at Duke, they are now over 2 years old and their futures are bright!

It seemed like a perfect fit for them to meet another set of Duke twins: Cameron and Cayden Boozer! The four enjoyed playing some hoops at Cameron Indoor Stadium with Akenji and Asanti's parents, Jon and Janae.
