Sundance Vacations Announces Winner of Cruise Giveaway Contest

WILKES-BARRE, Pa., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Sundance Vacations today announced that Mark Stobodzian of Scranton, Pennsylvania won a free cruise in the Sundance Vacations' Spring Break Cruise Giveaway contest. The Spring Break Cruise Giveaway is part of a series of contests by Sundance Vacations to give away six free cruises between April and June to Sundance Vacations' Facebook Fans.  

"We are shocked and so very excited to have won Sundance Vacations' Cruise Giveaway contest. Mark has been through a lot these past few years and truly deserves a relaxing vacation," said Cheryl Stobodzian, Mark's wife. "Thanks to Sundance Vacations we will be able to take our first vacation in ten years! We couldn't be more thrilled and thankful for such a wonderful opportunity."

Mark was nominated by his wife Cheryl, whose admiration and unconditional love for her husband won the hearts of Sundance Vacations' Facebook community. Mark has diabetes and has suffered numerous health issues over the years, including kidney failure. Luckily, Cheryl was a donor match, and Mark was able to have a kidney transplant in January 2009. To show his appreciation for his wife's unfailing support, Mark also nominated Cheryl for Sundance Vacations' Cruise Giveaway without her knowledge.

"Mark is a great example of someone who even in the face of adversity, shows tremendous courage, strength, and most of all, generosity," said John Dowd, President of Sundance Vacations. "Sundance Vacations is happy to be able to give this amazing couple a free cruise where they can relax and share many valuable memories."
