For Rosaria, family is the most fundamental part of her life. One of Rosaria's sons, Broderick 'Brody,' was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma at 2.

Rosaria's professional career of 10 years was placed on hold upon diagnosis and teaching special needs children. At the time of diagnosis, she was paralyzed with fear and heartbreak.

Brody was a smart and loving little boy. He faced his treatment with bravery and courage that no child should ever need - his little body succumbed to the disease in 2015 at 3.

The lessons and legacy of Brody will live forever in all those touched by childhood cancer. Through Rosaria’s endeavors, Living With Scanxiety, legislation, speaking, writing, and research, she maintains her mission of hope.
