You have such a wonderful heart and a beautiful soul. My name is Rodney Rush. I am most known for playing the character Combo on the TV series, Breaking Bad. I was the guy that got shot by an eleven year old kid on the show! Since the show ended almost a year ago now, I have become really busy. I am blessed with many wonderful opportunities and I have really learned a lot about myself and what it is I truly want to do in life. Recently I saw a picture of a young man named Harrison Janik on Facebook. His mom had posted the picture with him wearing his Heisenberg shirt and hat while he was in the hospital during a two weeks stay. The comment said Breaking Bad is what gets him through his hospital stays. Not knowing anything about him I reposted the pic on my page encouraging him to stay strong. I also reached out to his mother, asking her for an address to send him a little care package from me. She did and I sent it out immediately and he received it within a couple of days and posted pictures stating it changed their whole visit to the hospital. I found out that they were working on a film project and they gave me the website to it.. It is breathtakingproductions. I checked it out and when I found out that Harrison has Cystic Fibrosis and learned about the film project they are working on, I emailed them letting them know if they needed anything from me to help them to let me know. A week or so went by before we spoke again as I was busy with comic con events all over but when we connected, they told me that they would be coming to Alb the next week to scout some locations and check the city out. I was ecstatic! I told them to call me when they arrived and I would love to meet up with them. A few days later I heard they were in town. The interesting thing was I saw another post online from Jeremiah Bitsui who plays the character Victor on Breaking Bad. He met with the family the first day they were here and did a lil filming with him and he took them to eat and a few other things and showed them a great time. I was so happy to see that. I thought that maybe he was involved in their project. I immediately thought I must show them an equally wonderful time. I didnt know what their film schedule looked like but I told them I would meet with them the next day and I had them meet me at the Candy Lady Shop in Alb. Which is a big tourist attraction now because she made the blue stuff for Breaking Bad (which is just candy.. lol). She is a wonderful lady! I met Harrison, his mother Sheli Weiss, his little brother Jackson and their step Dad who is a wonderful Dad to them named Allan Weiss. I got Harrison and his brother Breaking Bad shirts from the shop and I also set them up with BB beanies and original BB crew hats as well. I found out there that Harrisons little brother Jackson also has Cystic Fibrosis (he drew me a picture and handed it to me when I first met him.. It melted my heart). They are great kids. I found out their schedule was open for the day and I took them to Explora which is a childrens science museum of a sort in Alb. I also took them for lunch at a local pizza place called Saggios. I also took them to check out some of the famous Breaking Bad locations I was a part of in Alb (we even reenacted one of my scenes). I kept asking about how their filming was turning out and had found out that they had been held up by the rainy weather and lack of sun. I took them for frozen Yogurt and during this they explained that more about how they were supposed to be in Alb the previous week but Harrison ended up in the hospital. They also explained the difficulty they were having with getting the exact shots they needed. As we were leaving the yogurt shop, Allan expressed to me that even though they werent getting the shots they needed for their trailer, he was beginning the realize the True reason for coming here. He said We werent meant to come out here to film. We were meant to come out here to meet you.. It touched my heart. I didn’t want to the day to end so knowing Harrison had been listening to my music a lot leading up to this point, I offered him an opportunity to record a song. I left to get my personal recording equipment from my house. It hit my hard on the way home. I couldnt hold back the tears. I had found out that the age he is now used to be the life expectancy of someone with CF. Through new medical breakthroughs, the life expectancy it is now my age. I couldnt help but think how blessed I was to get to spend the day with this beautiful family. I expressed this to my mom while I was getting my stuff (still just crying from how much I was touched). I grabbed my stuff stopped and picked up the family food from a wonderful local place in Alb called Lotaburgers and went to their hotel and set everything up. Me and Harrison got right to work. I pulled up a beat I had and I gave him some information and encouraging thoughts on how to write a rap song. He did amazing! I helped him put together his verse. I explained how everything worked and coached him along as he recorded a song for the first time in his life. :) It was breathtaking to do.. We created a song called Believe and it came out so positive and wonderful. After we were done I showed a little about the mixing process and got to explain sort of what it would turn out to become. After this I had such great conversation with his parents and they started to explain more about all it was that they were doing with the film project. They told me it was Harrisons idea to create a film. They had got suggestions from friends and they came up with the idea to write the story a long the lines of the story of Breaking Bad. Like how Walt finds out about his sickness and how he deals with it and to express what Harrison figures out is his mission in life. Allan and Sheli did such a great job writing it. They then expressed to me that before they came they decided to write in a part for me in the film. They wrote me in as Harrisons role model. Not as my character from Breaking Bad but as myself, Rodney Rush. I started crying again. It touched my heart. I explained to them that my mission in life is to help people. I started with Rap music as one of my main passions and it becomes better and better each day. I just recently made a song with my four year old niece Adisson that has become really popular amongst everyone who supports me online (reverbnation/rodneyrush). My life has really become amazing! I constantly post positive messages for all of my people on all of my social networks. I have a good balance in life of family and my career and I want to change the world! Ellen, I hope one day I can give, provide for and change the world as you do. If even in a small fraction of the ways that you are able to do it. I would love to open a non-profit to teach kids all of the difference arts (ex// writing, painting, drawing, recording, filming etc.). I was raised in gifted education and I was taught things most kids werent. I dont understand why everyone cant have this opportunity. My mother is an art teacher and taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. She led by example. She is such a wonderful person and she taught me how to become the best person I could possibly be. She gave me the idea to contact you.. I dont know what will come of this but I have to at least reach out and see if there is any way that you can help us make this whole thing come alive. Harrisons mother Sheli told me that Harrison told her that if this film was the last thing he did and if by chance he dies after this, that he wanted this to be his legacy. I will do everything in my power to make this happen for him if it means raising all of the money all by myself little by little.. I have already done one weekend of fundraising at The Candy Ladys shop a week ago. I reinvested in merchandise for me to keep raising money for them. I also set it up for them to set up a table with me at a Festival being thrown in Alb Nov 7th & 8th called Breaking Bad Fest. I am paying for them to come out and be a part of it and hopefully we raise a lot of money. If there is any way you can help please connect me. I can be reached via Email at emailrodneyrush@gmail or through my Facebook at facebook/therealrodneyrush or over the phone at 505-267-5301 or by mail at 3621 Headingly NE. Alb, NM 87110. Again my name is Rodney Rush. This website: breathtakingproductions explains more about what it is they are doing. Thank You Sooooo Much for your time.. Have a great day, week, month, year and many years to come.. Much Love! soundcloud/therealrodneyrush/believe soundcloud/therealrodneyrush/prettyeyes
