Take A Chance On Me

Chance and Savanna’s love and devotion for each other is palpable. From the affectionate way he massages her shoulders to the way Savanna adoringly looks into her protective, big brother’s eyes. These two are connected in a way that most adult, male and female siblings are not. Growing up only three years apart, and not having any other siblings, caused their bond to be truly unbreakable. They did everything together; school, sports, playing outside, bath time, etc.

Now adults, Chance and Savanna have an incredibly strong and supportive relationship. When Savanna came out as gay in high school, she was bullied. Thankfully, her brother Chance was right there. He stood up to the kids that would pick on her, he always supported her and made sure she was safe and happy. He was and to this day is her guardian angel! In turn, Chance can go to Savanna for all of his problems. She is his therapist when it comes to love and personal life. He can vent to her about everything from his struggles to his accomplishments. One of the aspects that make their relationship unique is they have fought over the same girls but Savanna would usually win! They talk about dating, flirting and even sex with each other. Savanna jokes that she gives her brother the best sex tips! Nothing is off limits!

Always close, Chance and Savanna go to the gym together, meditate, wrestle, and even invade each other's privacy in the bathroom unapologetically. Most people would think that this brother-sister duo may be a little too close, but Chance and Savanna beg to differ! They think nothing of seeing a little skin in the bathroom. Chance sees his sister like a brother, and often refers to her as "bro." This duo is also incredibly fit. Chance began working out at 12 years old and has competed in numerous body-building competitions. Sister is there for bulking brother at every step of the way. Spotting every squat, giving feedback as he practices his muscle poses in his short-shorts, and even helps to apply the ubiquitous bronzed self-tanner.  

Even now, all grown up, they still get together every year on Christmas Eve and their mom reads them "The Night Before Christmas," as they cuddle in bed. They have the same arm tattooed with matching styles symbolizing their bond. When Chance wanted to pierce his ears he had Savanna pierce them for him. That’s how much he trusts her! When Savanna underwent surgery and had to have a pacemaker put in, it was Chance there holding her hand as she exited the operating room. When Savanna gets cosmetic lip fillers, it’s Chance right there for moral support.  

The Galloway family has a tight-knit bond that was strengthened during a difficult time when mom was diagnosed with systemic lupus and found herself in and out of the hospital. Although they had plenty of scares and difficult times, the experience served to solidify the importance of family. Chance and Savanna do not take one moment together for granted.

Their father Dave started a roofing company ten years ago. What started as a mom and pop shop, operated from their home, now has 50 employees! The brother/sister duo also work at the company – Chance as a Production Manager and Savanna as an Account Manager. Savanna sells as many roof jobs as possible and then she passes the baton to Chance to follow up and work with the customers. However, they are both at a crossroad with their careers and don't want to disappoint their dad but want to find their own lane. The duo has discussed wanting to open a "Ninja" style gym together. They just hope that dad will be supportive.

Savanna has had a girlfriend named Allison for over a year, and she's now her fiancé! Savanna popped the question on the 4th of July and the couple is very excited about the festivities to come. They are in the midst of wedding planning. Chance is glad Savanna is so happy, but he's skeptical of the age difference. Since Savanna is 21 and Allison is 28, he feels like there could be some differences that might prove to be problematic.

Chance has been in a relationship for about a year and a half with a girl named Kaitlyn and they currently live together. Kaitlyn and Chance were friends for three years while she was dating Chance's best friend in college, but then she started to go to Chance for a shoulder to cry on while Chance’s best friend (her then boyfriend) was cheating on her. Their bond grew and Kaitlyn confessed catching feelings for Chance. Despite his better judgement, he gave in and it caused lots of drama between Chance and his best friend… threats and all. The couple still has major hurdles to this day and the whole family hopes that Chance will break up with this dramatic girl but fears her manipulation tactics will keep him in a daze. Savanna is conflicted. On one hand she wants to be supportive of her brother, but on the other hand she wants to call a spade a spade if she sees her brother being manipulated or taken advantage of. She will protect her brother’s heart at any cost.  He comes first.

Years of incorrect form and poor coaching has left Chance’s body in a tailspin. He has serious joint and medical issues that he’s dealing with. As a trainer and an athlete, not being able to push himself the way that he is used to is difficult to deal with. He’s turned to dry needling, a process similar to acupuncture to help to heal his body. The shocking process applies needles into his back and glutes, a shocking a display to witness. But Savanna is there all the same as she watches her brother take dozens of needles to his rump. This is devotion. Savanna is Chance’s support on his journey to not only heal, but to get in the best shape of his life.

Chance and Savanna are purely and truly close on a number of levels. They are best of friends with no secrets between them. They’ve earned each other’s trust, respect and admiration. They’ve forged a bond and relationship many will not, and cannot seem to understand. Although it’s often misunderstood or judged, this brother and sister know that what they have is special and irreplaceable.
