It looks more like the shape of one of my pills than a kidney. Or a hot dog without a bun?

I prefer my kidneys a nice deep pink rather than blue but I guess that's what happens when kidneys get big and start walking around Seattle.  Kudos to all who participated.

If you've followed this thread you'll know there have been a few "guest" mascots, and here's another liver. Looks like he's a little wilted.

"Alfie the Liverman, representative of the American Liver Foundation, added a game winning homerun to his resume, capping off a monumental victory at T.C.'s Annual Mascot Softball Game. The game was played in front of thousands on Love Your Liver Day at the H.H.H. Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN. He would also go on to be named player of the game that day. However the affect he had on the field that day can't compare to what he means to people off of the field."

Wow - they are organizing...

In preparation for April, which is National Donate Life Month, the mascots are going through some “special” training to hone their registration skills. Poke around the site, visit the About page to learn more and follow along with the daily blog posts from the mascots and trainers below to help our mascots spread the word.

Check out K Buddy ... he has a whole super team.
http://www.niceonethat.com/clients.htm

Above and right are the 2D to 3D designs of the main character, K-Buddy.             
He endows four young enthusiasts with K-powers to help him in his fight against Dr Diabetez & Bad Health Inc.

         
Fruit Fighter (Zach), Vegetable Viva (Lina), Water Warrior (Ravi) and Active Arsenal (Mel) are known as The New Knights of K-Knowledge. When not fighting dietary villains, they are normal everyday children with     friends.

           
Bring on the bad guys!

And the evil Dr. Diabetz
I think a thread needs to be started based on these characters - instead of three words, one paragraph at a time

Kenny the Kidney (Photo below. His back has large colored cysts, seen in the video.)

From his profile:
Kenny is a special kind of kidney -- he's a giant polycystic kidney.
For every 500 people you see, everywhere in the world, at least one of them has PKD.
And even though PKD is really common, most people have never heard of it.
Please help Kenny spread the word, so that we can cure PKD, and fix millions of kidneys around the world.
