New York, NY (PRWEB) October 6, 2004



Manhattan-based entrepreneurs Marta Kagan of Lifeline Coaching and Bridgette Raes of Bridgette Raes Style Group announced today a new extreme makeover-style contest, aimed at helping one lucky winner change her life while fighting for a cure for breast cancer. The prize package, which includes over $5000 in products and services including three months of service from an expert life coach, a personal stylist, a personal trainer, a complete makeover, and a $1000 wardrobe, has been donated by an active team of local style and success experts who aim to “positively change one woman’s life while working to save the lives of millions of others.” Tickets to enter the contest cost $5 each, with 100% of the net proceeds benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.



“We knew we wanted to do something sensational this year to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” says Lifeline Coaching President, Marta Kagan. “We realized that if we pooled our resources, we could have a positive, truly life-changing impact on one woman’s life while simultaneously contributing to the larger effort of finding a cure.”



The winner, who will be chosen through a random drawing on January 1, 2005, will kick-off her ‘extreme makeover’ by working with Kagan on a weekly basis to set and achieve personal goals such as gaining confidence, improving communication skills, or turbo-charging her career. Concurrently, the contest winner will work with personal trainer Stephen Pradon, Director of Sports and Fitness with Synergy Health Clubs to achieve fitness goals, and Nutrition Counselor Susan Faux-Lewis of 360 Nutrition to adapt her diet and establish a healthy relationship with food.



“The program applies the idea of the extreme makeover from the inside out,” says Kagan. “We work on inner health and beauty first, then we focus on outward improvements.”



After three months of intensive personal coaching, training, and nutritional counseling, the winner of the Extreme Life Makeover Contest will partner with style expert Bridgette Raes, President of Bridgette Raes Style Group, to transform her personal style, including a hair transformation by Fabian Lliguin, owner of Cocoon salon on ManhattanÂ’s Upper East Side, a makeup lesson and custom product package from Giella Custom Blend Cosmetics, and a $1000 wardrobe shopping spree to suit her personal style.
