A Letter From Rocco:

Hey everybody, Rocco here. I just wanted to give you an update on what's happening with me. First off I'd like to thank everyone who has either donated to my medical fund or given their time and energy. It is greatly appreciated to say the least! As far far as my health goes, as you know, I am not well enough to be on the road with Tower Of Power at this time. My kidney function numbers although way below normal have been holding steady. I'm feeling OK however I am in need of a kidney transplant as soon as possible. According to the medical team, even though I feel OK right now my condition can deteriorate suddenly.

I know some of you thought we had a donor and we were ready to go. Unfortunately at the 11th hour that changed. After some final testing, the person who was a match is no longer a viable donor. Needless to say, there was a lot of disappointment. Now we are regrouping and again looking for potential donors. If anyone is interested there is more information available at www.towerofpower.com as well as www.roccoprestia.com. You can also email me at roccoprestia@towerofpower.com.

It's hard to find the right words to express how much I appreciate the generosity and love you have shown me so for now I'll just say so long and and I'll see you down the road!!

THANK YOU so much for your support!

Sincerely,

ROCCO

This life is such an amazing process. I've been blessed on so many levels, I can't count them all. My talent isn't for me to define - that's a job for other people. But they better do it fast - I may not live long enough! (Laughs.)
