Rob and Mari, I dont think you guys can be thanked enough so here's another huge Thanks! What you helped accomplish is just beyond belief.
Bless you for opening our eyes, minds (and ears )

Congratulations, Rob & Mari on such a successful night! Pets Alive is so lucky to have you in their corner. You two are such generous and caring people and that's one of the reasons we love you. Take care of yourself and I will be seeing you on the tour as many times as I possibly can!

Sounds like it was a wonderful night.

Thank YOU Rob & Mari.

hey guys! we're just barely winding down from the event, and wanted to thank those of you that came out to support us on our second sidewalk angels event. it was the first in so many ways, as i believe mari really out did herself and brought together a beautiful evening where everyone could enjoy themselves and still remember what the cause was. as many of you know, i was having really bad allergies and wasn't loving how my voice was sounding, but make no mistake, i had a great time. we raised a great deal of money, but it's not even enough, so please continue to give of your time and money to pets alive. (i'm sorry i don't remember your name, but the pen you spent eight hours on is hanging in my studio and will never be used for anything other than staring at.)
i have to say how great andre, steffi and chris were through the whole evening and into today, when we all got to hit the balls around on the courts. here's to all of you who helped, the old, new, tried, true, red, white and dyed blue. we love you all. see ya on the road soon.

Hi Rob. The pen was from me. I'm so glad you liked it. I am so honored that the first time I got to meet you was at this amazing event. I can't wait to get a chance to talk to you again. Although I don't think I will be doing another pen ever, unless of course Mari wants one. I would make an exception for her!

picture of the pen???? just curious would love to see it

Glad to hear the benefit was a success!!!! Rob, you and Mari do so much to help others, the world is truly a better place because of the both of you!!!!!!!!!

From all the reviews I've read, it was a fantastic evening for a wonderful cause ~ Congrats! So wish I could have been there. Maybe next one.

Take care of that voice please!! I'm listening to it now.

Congrats on a successful evening. Well done Mari! Rob looking forward to listening to your new CD! Hugs and kisses to you and Mari..

Hey, Rob...Flonase and Zyrtec, hon. We need you to stay healthy!

Congratulations on a successful benefit evening. I am sure it was first class all the way, with Mari in charge. I would have given my first born to have been the lucky winner of the tennis lesson the next day, lol...well, maybe not my first born, he is way too dear to give away. I would have let you borrow him, though, tee hee hee. Continue to do good deeds, and both of you, stay well!

Congratulations on a wonderful and successful night! It sounds like it was truly amazing, and I so wish I could have been there. I am so proud to be a fan - you guys are such an inspiration to others, and it's wonderful all the things you do for the animals.

I'm the old, tried, true, and blue (from not getting to go to the benefit!). lol

Love you guys!

Mari & Rob
What a team! Luv you both

Rob and Mari,

Neil & I are very sorry that we couldn't be there. Maybe next year the timing will be right. I also suffered on Saturday and Sunday with 2 days of chronic hayfever so I was in sympathy with you Rob. Congratulations on a successful event from your Aussie friends.

Congratulations on such a fantastic event. So glad it went so well and so much money was raised. What a fantastic team you are Rob and Mari - well done. So looking forward to a new cd and a visit to Oz soon.

i'm certain pigs flying first would be more likely than rob seeing this but man can i relate to the allergy thing - i live in the south and this allergy season has been such a drag with the hurricanes, etc. - i found out about a sinusitis nasal spray from that fatigued to fantastic doctor that i had my doctor order from the compounding pharmacy that Dr. T recommends on his website and it truly is fantastic -i've been on it for 2 weeks and feel so much better - better than in years allergy-wise... i'm not sure what the etiquette is around here for posting something like that - i'm not affiliated with the pharmacy or doctor in anyway although so i apologize if this is bad form -Sinusitis Nose Spray (Rx)—by prescription from ITC Pharmacy (888-349-5453). The prescription spray contains Sporanox, Xylitol, Bactroban and Beclamethasone to eliminate both bacterial and fungal infections. It is excellent! Use 1-2 sprays of the prescription spray in each nostril twice a day for 6-12 weeks and then as needed. This is the link to the page of the doctor's website that has an article on sinus - http://www.endfatigue.com/health_articles_r-s/Sinusitis...east_infection.html-

I didn't order any of the other stuff this doctor recommends because i'd already tried most of them from other companies -i'm pretty familiar with the nutrition industry and you may want to avoid getting too side-tracked by his other recommendations and just go straight for the compounded spray -it really is great - i have to rely on my voice for what i do and used to sing too so i definitely know what you mean about the resonance thing when your sinuses are inflammed due to allergy -i'm sure you sounded fine - you actually use your diaphragm when you sing - which is such a novelty nowadays... there's a great brown rice protein that has helped me a lot too by nutribiotic - it's great for travel or if your food options are limited due to venue, etc.- you can shake it up with plain water in a shaker cup if you're in a pinch -the water doesn't even have to be cold..it's the only brown rice protein that is processed at low temps so the enzymes aren't lost - so your body uses it more efficiently (at least that's the theory)- most other protein powders have some form of dairy which is not always great for singers or if you have to rely on your voice for media, etc. - you can mix it in rice dream or almond milk too if you want some carb calories - or do it in the blender with frozen fruit to make a smoothie- the main thing is to reduce anything that's potentially allergenic that you're putting into your body as well until the allergy season passes - it's been working for me anyway -just hate to think of you suffering - blessings!

Rob, you are a rare talent and this is a great cause. I am sorry to have missed this show, we caught you at the MGM, amazing of course. In case you read this, I saw your note re allergies. I am also a vocalist plagued by allergies and use a neti pot. If you are unfamiliar check it out at your local Whole Foods, also check with your MD, ENT's love this as do all who try it. I use it every morning and before every gig and can't beleive I survived without it as long as I did.
Anyway, thanks for all you do and are, keep up the great work, catch you next time.
Peace,
Shellie Giroux

Glad to hear that the evening was such a success! I wish I could have been there!

Me and the newest addition to our family, Kody (I just adopted him from a local no kill shelter ) would like to Thank You and Mari for all that you do for all of the little furry ones! (and even the ones without fur!)
