The Kidney Foundation of WNY was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Allan Harris Rosenblitt, whose voice was familiar to so many Western New Yorkers through his long broadcast career. We are grateful for his support and his work increasing awareness about kidney disease and the importance of organ donation.
Allan was kind enough to share his personal kidney health journey as the speaker and host of our 2019 Gift of Life Dinner. Among the highlights was the moment he got a call -- while on the air -- informing him that a kidney was available and he needed to head right to the hospital for a transplant. Though the surgery didn't end up happening right away, as that kidney turned out to be unsuitable, he did receive a transplant shortly after.
His family shared this remembrance of his life through Facebook:
