Arizona Adventure Entrepreneur -- LiveYourAdventure.com -- Strings Banner Across Grand Canyon in Hopes of Winning Yahoo! ''Think Big'' Contest; Hualapai Tribe Building Skywalk 4,000 Feet above Colorado River at Banner Location.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- With a stunt worthy of Sir Richard Branson himself, (the final judge of the Yahoo! contest) adventurer, author, and publisher Mark McMahon is stringing a banner across the Grand Canyon to get the attention of Yahoo's! "Think Big" Contest judges. The contest winner, chosen for its business plan and ability to "Think Big" will get 10 million free ad impressions across the Yahoo! Network.

"There aren't many things bigger than the Grand Canyon," says McMahon. "LiveYourAdventure.com is about encouraging people to live life a little bigger. When I heard about the contest I knew I could reach millions and inspire them to live their dreams."

On Friday May 20th, at noon, McMahon, with the help of the Hualapai Tribe, will hang a 100 ft. banner across Grand Canyon West that says, "RICHARD, PICK LIVEYOURADVENTURE.COM."

(Media may call for a helicopter fly-by of the banner between 12-3p.m. Friday, call Mark at 520-270-7083, of Kimberly at 415-994-1097, or 415-989-0230.)

"The Hualapai were so helpful. I couldn't have done it without them," says McMahon. "I've made connections with indigenous tribes all over the world, it seems fitting that my dreams are being helped along by a tribe close to home." Mark plans to share 10% of the ad impressions with the Hualapai tribe when he wins the contest.

The Hualapai Tribe is building a Skywalk over the Grand Canyon to enhance the tourist experience. The Skywalk, opening by the end of the year, goes right along with the "Dream" and "Think Big" theme. It is a glass-bottom bridge that cantilevers over the edge of the Grand Canyon, 4,000 feet above the Colorado River. This is truly an engineering wonder. Once a dream, now a reality!
