7 years after graduating from Archbishop Molloy High School, Scelta was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease; one of the youngest case in the world.  Anthony is a frequent inspirational speaker and wrote "Defiying Despair" to share his story.

Defying Despair is a book filled with hope, love, and triumph. In it,  Sceleta shows us how he is winning his 10 year battle with young onset Parkinson's Disease. It surely provides an inspirational story, but more importantly, it offers readers a mind-body strategy to create their own success stories. In short, Defying Despair will help you cope with, and even transcend, life's toughest adversities.
