Father Of Clement Twins Finds Bone Marrow Transplant Match After Social Media Plea

Mar 03, 2020

Kevin is the father of the Clement twins who became internet famous after they were born in 2010. The identical sisters Leah Rose and Ava Maria were dubbed by fans as the "world's most beautiful twins" after their mom posted their debut Instagram photo when they were seven years old.

Now their father, Kevin, who struggles with leukemia and lymphoma, needs a bone marrow transplant. 

After the Clements twins' mom, Jaqi, posted Leah and Ava's first photo on Instagram, the twins' beauty became an internet sensation. The twins have gone on to be models for various brands and campaigns, including the American Girl Doll company.

After starting modeling careers and being praised as the world's most beautiful twins, Ava and Leah have now taken to their Instagram to help someone very close to them–their father, Kevin. 

On December 8th, 2019, the twins' Instagram account posted an announcement saying that their father had been struggling with leukemia and lymphoma. This included their own hashtag: #kevincrushingcancer.

With millions of Instagram followers, the girls' post reached far beyond their home state of California. In their post, they urged locals to donate more bone marrow, as this is one of the things that their father Kevin desperately needed to aid his recovery. 

The twins' Instagram post that called for more bone marrow donors said:

"Please help us find a bone marrow match for our dad...He needs a transplant ASAP! For those of you in the Orange County area, we will be hosting another drive this coming Wednesday and would LOVE to see you there...We need to #findthatunicorn...If you aren’t able to attend you can register online to become a donor! It’s FREE, quick and painless! - link in bio!"

After their plea for help, the Clements twins found a donor for their dad that was closer to home than they thought. According to a video by InsideEdition, the donor ended-up being Kevin's brother, as he would be the most viable match. The transplant of matching bone marrow was crucial to helping Kevin fight his leukemia and lymphoma. 

We wish Kevin a speedy recovery. What do you think about the Clements father finding a donor? Do you know of someone who has ever been in a similar situation? Let us know your thoughts and be sure to pass this on to others so they can share their thoughts as well.
