LEWISTOWN Zach Hesketh and Alex Haines grew up together in Mifflin County. They went to Lewistown Area High School, playing sports together and graduating together. They both completed nursing school and work in their hometown.
For Christmas, they and others who have signed on to help them go beyond medicine with one small patient. This year, their aim is to double that holiday spirit.
It all started for the pair five Christmases past, when they took it upon themselves to raise money for a family in need specifically, for a family whose child needed their treatment in the previous year.
