This is "WHY" we all raised "Funds".
Thank you to the hundreds of sponsors, Production Team, over 400 Volunteers, hundreds of Reality Stars and participants in so many ways.
You all helped raise the funds for Michelle's Place Cancer Resource Center. Together we do make a difference in the lives of many with the funds we raised.
Thank you Michael Scalise of https://www.blacktie-productions.com/ for these and many videos over 12 years..
To anyone that knows me, I am a fun loving, costume wearing, nut that loves to help and contribute where I can to good causes and events. Reality Rally has been such an event that I am continually humbled and in awe at it’s scope and reach and at it’s very success in it’s efforts to continually be a creative force of getting the word out there for Michelle’s Place. Without being an ego-maniac, I can say that I am proud of being a part of Reality Rally and all that it stands for. I am forever grateful for Gillian to have allowed me the continued opportunity to participate in Reality Rally every year as well as any supporting events that I can lend my wacky personality to. Having been to all 8 Reality Rally’s so far, it’s just amazing to look back to see what an awesome journey this has been with the support of Temecula, with the support of other Reality Tv personalities and also the support of great fans. So, to not get too mushie here, I will just end this with a salute and a bow to everyone out there reading this and hope to see you all at the next Reality Rally.
Wow, my wife, Susan, and I am still coming off the high of Reality Rally 2016. We found Reality Rally way more than we ever expected and stand in awe of the dedication and effort of Gillian Larson and the entire Reality Rally team in organizing and presenting the Rally. Truly an amazing job, event and time! Thanks to everyone involved for their servant’s hearts and all you do for Michelle’s Place and Temecula as a whole.
On a personal note I have to say that our attendance at the Rally was just what the doctor ordered. In twelve years of ministry working with disadvantaged children in South Africa, we had never taken time away for ourselves and that was taking a tremendous toll on me mentally, emotionally and physically. As a huge fan of Survivor since episode 1 of season 1 I knew of Gillian (a native South African who competed in Survivor Gabon, Season 17) and her involvement in Reality Rally to support Michelle’s Place.
I decided attending the Rally was something I had to do for myself even if it meant travelling nearly half way around the world from South Africa to California to do so and asked Susan to join me. While not initially the most willing participant, she had such a wonderful time at the Rally and the following week that we stayed in the Temecula Valley that we both have committed to taking time away for ourselves on a regular basis now.
"Reality Rally to me was a reality check. It was amazing and very humbling to see so many people come together for this wonderful cause. Visiting Michelle's Place was a waterfall of tears, but at the same time it was so great to see the changes and impact reality rally has had in Michelle’s Place. I am blessed to have been a part of this amazing weekend and look forward to it every year.
