COMMEMORATIVE
BOOK
Welcome from
City of Temecula Mayor
Welcome from Riverside County
Third District Supervisor
It is my pleasure to welcome you to
Reality Rally 2015. The City of Temecula
is proud to host Reality Rally again this
year. We are looking forward to the fun
and exciting challenges that Gillian and
her Team have put provided for the Reality
Stars and participants.
As Mayor of Temecula, ,an important 2015
citywide initiative includes “Temecula Has
Heart....because kindness matters”..
a concept that supports putting others
ahead of oneself, paying it forward, random acts of kindness and
similar goodwill. Reality Rally 2015 enlists the help of many
volunteers who donate countless hours towards this event to
benefit Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center and is a
great example of this. Because of their selfless dedication and your
enthusiastic participation, women living in the Temecula Valley will
receive the support and resources to battle breast cancer as
well as education about prevention and detection.
I’m can’t begin to tell you how excited I
am for Temecula to serve as host for
another “season” of Reality Rally! Again,
Gillian Larson has put together a great
experience and event for the participants
and celebrities. Temecula Valley has
become a destination recognized for its
beauty, its climate, its recreation including
golf, Pechanga Casino, wineries and
our inimitable Old Town that will be the
backdrop for all of our visitors to enjoy.
And to think, all of this fun for a great cause-Michelle’s Place-to fight
breast cancer. For our contestants, may you have the best of luck,
but more importantly, may you have the best time!
Yours,
Chuck Washington
Riverside County Third District Supervisor
On behalf of the City of Temecula, we hope you have a great time
at this year’s Reality Rally. I hope the event is a memorable one
and that you will have some time to enjoy our warm hospitality,
historic Old Town, beautiful Wine Country and other great amenities
that make Temecula so unique.

The Heart of Reality Rally
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference
we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the
life we lead. - Nelson Mandela.
Together we make a difference,
together we make Reality Rally all that it is.
The Temecula City wide message is “ Temecula has heart, because kindness matters”,
the Reality Rally message is “Our world has heart, kindness really does matter.” Reality
Rally came out of my heart in the jungle of Gabon after I was voted out of CBS
Survivor, went into my head and the idea grew because of hundreds of people all
over the world who have heart. That heart has reached out is ways that only heart

good of others. For all the hundreds of donors all over the world who have the heart to make a donation to our
charity when their choice of charities is endless. The heart of our Amazing Race type game, is that of the 13
organizations who bring all their people who volunteer with heart to make a totally fun challenge. For all the
hundreds of volunteers and participants who flock to Temecula from all over the country to help the Reality
Rally weekend the premier event it has become and to raise funds and awareness for Michelle’s Place. The
heart of my husband and family, who give up much of my time as I work on the heart of our event.
We all do this event to honor the hearts of 3 with big hearts millions who have lost their battle to cancer and
to celebrate with those who have won. Our 3 are Michelle Watson, Jenn Lyon and Chris Dalton whose stories
