2017 Capital Area Ambassador Austin and Nash

The day twin boys, Austin and Nash, were born was the best and worst day of the Sollenberger’s lives; finally meeting their little men, but terrified of what their future might be. Born 12 weeks early, they weighed only 1.5 lbs. and 1.11 lbs. Only a few hours old, the twins were transferred from Harrisburg Hospital to Hershey Medical Center. So tiny, not much bigger than dad’s hand, their parents couldn’t touch or hold them, but they marveled at how perfect they were. The Vikings (a nickname they earned) fought hard and after 94 days, came home. The Sollenbergers are grateful to the March of Dimes and the staff at Hersey Medical Center and Harrisburg Hospital for helping the twins get this far.
