Ford Racing Gives Breast Cancer Research 100,000 Reasons
Staff, Thursday December 2, 2004.

The donation came at the final Ford V8 Superbreakfast for 2004, where it was announced that $40,000 had been raised through different pre-race events throughout the year.
Delighted with the response from supporters of its racing program, the Ford Motor Company topped-up those donations to make it $100,000.
The announcement was made by V8 Supercar Champion Marcos Ambrose (Pirtek Racing) along with his Ford V8 colleagues.
?We are all fighting for race wins, and for myself a championship, but this is something we?re all proud to be fighting for,? said Ambrose.
?The association with the National Breast Cancer Foundation has been very rewarding, not just in terms of raising money but also awareness.
?On behalf of the drivers I?d like to thank all those people who have supported this fantastic fundraising and awareness effort in 2004. For 2005 I?m sure this program will grow and together we can ultimately find a cure for breast cancer.?
Sue Murray from the National Breast Cancer Foundation was delighted with donation.
?This has taken us all at the National Breast Cancer Foundation by complete surprise,? said Murray.
?It clearly shows a great commitment from all the Ford drivers, the fans and the Ford Motor Company,? said Murray.
?2004 is the National Breast Cancer Foundation?s 10th anniversary and we are aiming to raise $10 million. We don?t receive any government support, but through outstanding programs like the Ford Racing association our goal of reaching that figure continues to become a reality.
?I?m now a proud Ford Racing fan and I hope this fantastic week can be completed with a win on the track and the championship to Marcos Ambrose.?
Ambrose will be chasing his second-straight title the Big Pond Grand Finale at Eastern Creek over this weekend. Victory for Ambrose would also be Ford?s first back-to-back titles since Dick Johnson in 1988 and ?89.
