OUR JOURNEY WITH ROCCO
Rocco Sivolella was like many young men his age, full of life and a great passion for sports. That passion, and that drive was on full display when Rocco stepped on a Diamond Field or rushing out of the locker rooms under helm, running shoulder pad to shoulder pad with his beloved teammates.
Rocco attended Wayne Valley High School in Wayne, New Jersey when he began his fight against AML, Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The news galvanized the entire community behind his greatest challenge.
Rocco’s family, teammates and school provided tremendous support. The character & sportsmanship he exuded on and off the field touched all those around him. When Wayne Hills High School heard of the news they rallied in support with Wayne Valley HS and the rest of the community. The community and both schools showed immense love & support throughout Rocco’s fight.
