From left: Brianna Capleton and Rianna Capleton accepting a cheque valued at $7,729,810 to cover their medical degrees tuition cost at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona from Lauri-Ann Samuels, executive director, National Baking Company Foundation, and Craig Hendrickson, director, recently at the bakery’s head office in St Andrew. In spite of inspiring passes at the CSEC and CAPE levels, the twins, who are both past students of Immaculate Conception High School, had to delay the start of their Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery programme for a year given their inability to pay the high tuition cost, which will total over $7 million in the end. In lieu of medicine, they spent the last year pursuing biochemistry at UWI, Mona, but innately knew that medicine is what they really wanted to pursue.
