Original Toronto Star caption: Fighting cancer together: Donnie Burns, 19, (left) and his identical twin, Ronnie, of Nova Scotia checked into Princess Margaret Hospital yesterday for an operatin that could save Donnie's life. Ronnie plans to give his brother precious bone marrow and because the marrow is coming from a twin, the chances of Donnie's survival are much higher.
