Past Survivor News!

by Lessa

Hey all!

BillyGarciaDiabetesWalk.jpgMy blog buddy Billy Garcia is working his name and fame for a good cause!

This year, I’ll be taking part in JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, including some of my Survivor brethren as we try to reach our goal of raising $90 million.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people - a large and growing percentage of them children.

There is some good news, though. For the first time, scientists are predicting that we CAN expect to see a cure well within our lifetime!

Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won’t you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality! A Buck or Two CAN make a HUGE difference!

Again, I’ve set a new goal and it’s not much. every little bit helps!

Diabetes is something I know and understand the repercussions of first hand as my dad was diagnosed when I was five years old and has been working to remain healthy ever since then. My mother writes for 451 Press at Diabetes Health Talk, as well, and I’m happy to help Billy spread the word.

Every little bit helps, and he’s nearing the deadline for his fund raising! Please take the time to click here to visit his fundraising page and if you can, make a donation! Thank you in advance!

(More details can be found at Reality 4 Diabetes - including the other Reality stars who are participating!)

EarlFiji.jpgWhat’s Earl up to?

Earl Cole, winner of Survivor Fiji, has decided to use part of his winnings to buy a home in Fiji, where he spent last December competing, and winning, the $1 million grand prize. Earl fell in love with the country while there, and is planning on buying a house along the Coral Coast for his mother to live. Part of the allure is that Fiji is a Christian country, and thus has the same morals and beliefs he and his family hold true.

“This is God’s country” he said of Fiji, “And it’s a great place. There’s a lot to do for this country.”

He plans on promoting the country everywhere he goes after spending a recent holiday vacationing in Fiji. With the winnings from Survivor, Earl is also launching his own multi-media company, A-Frame Productions, which will produce music, television series, documentaries and films.

And, last but not least - the guy we love to hate, the one and only Johnny Fairplay - is PROCREATING. Yes indeed, and not only that, but with a MODEL from America’s Next Top Model! (Who, if I remember right, came out as bisexual or gay on the show… don’t quote me though!) That’s right. Johnny Fairplay and Michelle Deighton are expecting a baby early next year. She’s 17 weeks along and Johnny told TMZ that they couldn’t be happier, and he sure wouldn’t lie about that!

Would he?

Well, either way, Watching Survivor wishes Johnny and Michelle all the best and congratulations! When’s the Reality Baby Shower?
