First of all, let's all wash our hands constantly throughout the day. A 20-second scrub takes about as long as it takes to sing the Alphabet Song. Hand sanitizer is only second best to soap and water. Finally, I can state emphatically my family doctor was wrong. At my age, exercising only three times a week for just 30 minutes would not have worked for me. I'm thinking in my unmedical diagnosis that my plodding metabolism is caused by low blood pressure. With a lazy pulse...

Larson, who competed in 2008 on the popular CBS reality series "Survivor, Gabon," knew she had to use her 15 minutes of fame to accomplish something good. Reality Rally came from that desire.
