Mathematicians have placed odds on just about everything you can think of in life. From your chances of becoming the next president, to how likely you are to date a super model.

Soon to be parents look at probabilities and possibilities much differently as they think about the life that will soon to enter this world.

Nicole Taylor was one of those parents, and she defied the odds in more ways than one, and both were not what she was hoping for.

One out of every 700 children are born with Down syndrome, and 15 weeks into her third pregnancy, Taylor’s doctor gave her the news any soon-to-be parent prays they never have to hear.

“I called my mom, crying hysterically, and she was like ‘you have to go through with this.’ At first, I didn’t think I could go through with this, but I’m so glad I did," said Taylor.

Just weeks before learning of the down syndrome diagnosis, Taylor found out her pregnancy fell under another statistical improbability. She was having identical twins, and both would have the condition.

It was a rarity of epic proportions.

“One in a million, I was like why me," she asked.

Now 18-months-old, Brynnlee and Blakeley are just one pair of only a handful of identical twins with down syndrome in the entire country.

As if those odds were not enough, one almost never made it out of the hospital.

While both spent several weeks in the NICU after birth, Brynnlee’s first year of her life was plagued with feeding issues and heart surgery.

Looking at them now, you’d never know there was ever an issue at all.

“They are a lot of work, but they love their brother and sister so much. They are ornery as ever, too, and they know it," said Taylor.

Taylor says the girls climb and crawl everywhere, and especially enjoy dancing to one particular artist.

“Their love for Bruno Mars in intense.”

Nicole says TARC has been with Brynnlee and Blakeley since day one, and the nonprofit's weekly therapy sessions *now* will make all the difference *later* on in their lives.

“I’ve known some kiddos who haven’t had the early intervention, and they are very delayed. I want them to have a chance, I want them to succeed in life.”

Tarc's children's service programs help hundreds of area children do just that -- succeed in life -- and all at no charge to the parents.

The non-profit is in constant need of funding, which is why 13 NEWS This Morning's Chris Fisher is asking for "just a buck".

Your donation will go to help kids like Brynnlee and Blakely receive services to vital to their development.

The campaign wraps up Monday, July 31st. You can make a secure donation online at: www.tarcinc.org/justabuck
