BENSALEM, Pa. (AP) — To make the high school cheerleading team 40 years ago, twins Deborah and Sandra Fanelli performed an acrobatic move called "the flying splits."
The memory recently drew a rueful laugh from the once-active sisters, who in recent years have had trouble simply walking.
Severe arthritis has nearly crippled Sandra, known as Sam, who uses a walker. Deb has relied on a cane.
