ngela Burgess is a country girl at heart, growing up with mud riding, off-road excursions and trucks. She’s built two Jeeps for the mud and wanted to add a truck to her collection of mud toys just for fun, but soon changed her mind so that she could create something that was not only memorable, but also did some good in the world. Nicknamed “Sugar High,” the pretty in pink Ford F-150 FX4 is built to bring awareness to breast cancer, a subject close to Burgess’ heart. “I have friends and family that are either fighting, have survived or lost their lives to cancer,” Burgess details. “So many people lose their loved ones to cancer every year, so in memory of these lost loved ones I built the truck. I’m inspired every time I get to meet breast cancer survivors and see how much they enjoy the truck and what it’s built for.”
