Win a Pink Ribbon Power Boat & Raise Money For Cancer Research

By far one of the coolest fundraising ideas I've seen for cancer research - is the raffle for this one of a kind edition Malibu vRide wakeboarding boat, customized with Malibu Breast Cancer Awareness vinyl graphics with Ebony and Pink Ribbon gel coat. Pink Ribbon was adopted as one of Malibu’s 21 custom colors for the '06 model-year in memory of the beloved Malibu family members who have been lost to cancer and as a tribute to those who continue to battle the disease.

Malibu Boats is requesting a $20 donation from participants in the Malibu Boats Sweepstakes. By entering the sweepstakes you have a chance to win a 2006 Malibu vRide. The requested $20 donation could symbolize a new Malibu boat in the driveway, the chance to find a cure for cancer or both. Malibu Boats is giving away a 2006 vRide at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life event on April 29th in Merced, CA.

About the Pink Ribbon Blog:

: Name: M. Beth Parker

I started this blog (now moved to BreastCancerBracelets.org) because I have a family history of breast cancer. My maternal grandmother (a nurse) was first diagnosed with breast cancer at age 55, her treatment plan included a lumpectomy and radiation therapy, and she went into remission for over 10 years. At age 68, other cancers (including a brain tumor) were discovered, and she died just before her 70th birthday. My mother found a lump at age 47, followed a similar treatment plan, and has now been in remission for 6 years. I am a 31 year old healthy, active woman, but due to the history, have already had mammograms and ultrasounds done on suspect spots. Neither I nor my 24-yr old sister have been tested for the BRCA1 gene, but we both take this matter very seriously, and hope medical advances will continue to improve. I write this blog under M. Beth Parker, a form of my grandmother's maiden name, in her honor.
