Benefitting Give Kids the World, Hearts of Reality 2018 brings players from reality shows all over down to Orlando, including past Survivor players.
Every year, Hearts of Reality brings fan-favorite reality show personalities from Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, The Bachelor(ette) and others in a huge three-day fundraising event. Those involved had been raising funds for Give Kids the World (a resort in Florida that offers vacations for critically-ill kids), including donating time, autographs, Skype calls and other collectibles.
The event has become a rally for fans and players to come together and have a pleasant time meeting each other while benefitting a great cause. Some of the Survivor players attending Hearts of Reality 2018 include recent winners Wendell Holland and Ben Driebergen, runners-up Chrissy Hofbeck and Domenick Abbate, as well as classic players like Jonny Fairplay, John Carroll and Jessie Camacho.
Here are some of the Survivor players tweeting out about what looks to be a genuinely awesome time from a philanthropic and entertainment perspective. Jessica Lewis from Millennials vs. Gen X is sharing a fair number herself, including the tweets below:

Jonny Fairplay from Pearl Islands and Micronesia has been all over the Survivor seen as both a podcaster and haberdasher of fine novelty shirts, so it’s only natural he’s down in Florida to provide his support (and pictures)

Dr. Mike Zahalsky doesn’t have to go far to rally with the Heart of Reality folks. He’s exemplified the best of Florida ever since he appeared on Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, and he’s here as a first-time participant.

It’s always great to see the Survivor community come together for a great cause, and it’s even greater to see the community’s fundraising goals improve over the years. You can donate in the name of any of the players in attendance on the celebrity page here.
