FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chasing the White Line from Hell to Heaven - Suffering a little for those who are suffering a lot!

Frank McKinney has often been acknowledged for his architectural artistry that bears his own special brand of style and elegance; in fact, Donald Trump refers to his groundbreaking deals and rock star looks,’ but nothing equals the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing the Badwater Ultramarathon, described by National Geographic as ‘the toughest race in the world.’ McKinney believes we all have our own life’s Badwaters in the form of challenges and opportunities, but it is how we handle them that defines us.

Frank’s latest venture in luxury real estate proves he never does the ‘ordinary’ or chooses ‘safe.’ It is a stunning $23.4 million, 15,000+ sq-ft mansion named Acqua Liana (Water Flower) that sits on over 1.6 acres of tranquil oceanfront property in Manalapan Beach, Florida. Acqua Liana was built entirely on speculation – yes - even in this market! Acqua Liana and Frank McKinney were recently featured on the Travel Channel and HGTV.

From its unique glass water floors and water walls, to its serene gardens, waterfalls, pools and reflecting ponds, Acqua Liana has understandably earned the title of ‘The Greenest Mansion in America.’ Please visit this piece of paradise that must be seen to be believed at: www.frank-mckinney.com/acqua_liana.aspx .

Equally exciting to McKinney is his non-profit Caring House Project Foundation (CHPF) – an organization that provides a self-sustaining existence for desperately poor and homeless families around the world. ‘Compassion Without Action is a Waste of Emotion’ was the mantra for McKinney and his crew when they recently organized, searched, and performed rescue and relief efforts in Haiti after the devastating earthquake in January. McKinney’s charity was already in Haiti seven years before the earthquake, and had built eleven villages providing shelter for over 5,000 desperately poor and homeless, and it will remain there as CHPF continues with its massive relief efforts.

McKinney acknowledges that participating in the Badwater Ultramarathon, and choosing to selectively suffer in the desert this summer for those who are suffering so much in Haiti, offers him yet another opportunity to raise much-needed funds for CHPF.

McKinney’s public appeal is evidenced by his recent appearances on prominent shows, such as 20/20, Oprah, CBS Evening News, USA Today, Weather Channel, HGTV and Travel Channel.
