From the National Kidney Foundation's Communication Department:
 
 
Seeking Potential Kidney Donor Who's Trying to Lose Weight for The Rachael Ray Show
The Rachael Ray Show is looking for a male or female who is in the process of trying to lose weight so they can donate a kidney to a friend/loved one.  The Show wants to help them get the weight off by possibly having them work with a celebrity fitness trainer.  They would also potentially do a makeover on the candidate.

If you fit this bill and are interested in talking to show producers, please contact Bryan Van Steenbergen at bryanv@kidney.org as soon as possible. Thanks!
