DESCRIPTION:
Dear Scarsd
ale:
It isn’t every day
that you are asked to help save a life. Today is that day.
Byron Mallis\, Class of 2002\, needs a
kidney. An autoimmune disease has destroyed both of his \;kidneys. He is on daily dialysis\, and getting
his life back requires a living kidney donor. We are \;asking you to learn about kidney donation at an ev
ent being held on May 6 at 7 p.m. at
Congregation Kol Ami (252 Soundview Ave.\,
White Plains). And we are asking you to help save \;<
span style='font-size: 10pt\;'>his life.
Byron grew up in the Greenacres section of Scarsdale. He
spent babyhood through fourth grade \;on Ridgecrest West\, and fifth grade through high school graduation
on Oak Way. His parents\, \;La
urie Thomas and Chuck Mallis\, were a constant presence on ballfields and
at school events \;for Byron an
d his younger siblings\, Jillian (’07) and Ian (’09). Laurie worked at The
Journal News and hosted many class trips touring the newspaper (we think
at least one Greenacres student was inspired to pursue a career in journal
ism as a result!).
Byron
is the loving husband of Kayla\, and the father of an almost three-year-o
ld boy named \;Charlie (named f
or Chuck\, who passed away in 2009). Byron wants to be able to do all the&
nbsp\;things he got to do with his
own father. Among his favorite father-son Scarsdale memories: \;learning to swim at the Scarsdale Pool\,
rollerblading in the empty high school parking lot\, \;learning to drive on the Bronx River Parkway\, pla
ying on the soccer\, baseball\, and lacrosse \;teams\, birthday parties at Our Place video arcade\, the a
nnual planting of red\, white\, and blue \;flowers in front of the house\, and many more. Kidney disease
is getting in the way. No \;swi
mming\, no strenuous exercise\, no hands in the dirt.
We are turning to the Scarsdale community: p
eople who grew up with Byron\, people who know \;our family\, neighbors\, merchants\, teachers—anyone who
will choose to learn more about \;donation and consider how they might be the one to save his life.
We are working with an organ
ization called Renewal\, a Brooklyn-bas
ed nonprofit dedicated to \;sav
ing lives by facilitating live-donor kidney transplants. If you cannot att
end the \;May 6 event but are interested in learning more
about \;becoming a donor\, you
can click on this link. You can also request a simple at-home cheek swab
kit to find out if you might be a match. (Note: Byron’s legal name is Spe
ars Byron Mallis.)
