Neshaminy Senior Fights Lukemia

By Bob

Marco Dapkey

Waiting for Marco Dapkey was a promise-filled senior football season. His Neshaminy High coaches had selected him to be one of the squad’s captains, he was expected to be a two-way contributor for the Redskins, and recruiting interest was growing.

All that changed on June 13. Struggling with his breathing the night before and into the morning, a panicked Dapkey woke his mother, Rita.

That prompted a short trip to Aria Health Bucks County, where physicians, Rita Dapkey said, thought at first that Marco might have a serious sinus infection or, maybe, pneumonia. An X-ray and CT scan revealed much more.

A huge mass was spotted in Dapkey’s upper chest, severely compressing his larynx. The 17-year-old was immediately transported by ambulance to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “I knew something was terribly wrong,” Rita Dapkey said.

The following afternoon, with Dapkey’s family by his side in the intensive care unit, Dr. Spencer Sullivan, an oncology fellow at CHOP, revealed the diagnosis to him: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Coach Mark Schmidt

Neshaminy Redskins head coach, Mark Schmidt will be handling the reigns of the Northeast’s team in the upcoming New Jersey-Northeast All-Star Classic set for Sunday, June 6th. Having served as the head coach of Pennsylvania’s Big 33 team, as well as the Pennsylvania Football Coaches Association’s East-West All-Star Eastern team and the Southern team in the Bucks County Lion’s Club All-Star game too, this selection completes the picture for Coach Schmidt and mid-summer high school grid games.

And with kickoff at 3:00 PM (while Rutgers is just a one-hour drive away), don’t miss the opportunity to see this kind of talent on display! For more information on the game  just CLICK HERE .
