Santa Monica Pier, August 11, 2023 - On the radiant morning of August 11, 2023, a determined group, led by Oliver Flores, set forth from the iconic Santa Monica Pier to undertake an audacious cycling odyssey spanning over 2,400 miles. Their ardent journey is slated to traverse scorching desert landscapes, formidable mountain ranges, and a myriad of terrains, culminating in the vibrant city of Chicago.

In a daring endeavor, Oliver & Co have embarked on a mission that blends adventure and altruism. Their venture is two-fold: a monumental cycling expedition along the storied Route 66 and a noble endeavor to raise awareness for the newly-established nonprofit, OLIVER THE ROAD.

Opting for the hottest season of the year might raise eyebrows, but the team cites it as their only viable window. The upcoming weeks promise sweltering conditions, marking this daring expedition with the tag of being the hottest voyage of the year.

OLIVER THE ROAD

Founded with an unwavering commitment to inspire mental and physical well-being through outdoor escapades, OLIVER THE ROAD makes its debut on the philanthropic stage. The organization's core ethos revolves around promoting health, self-care, and self-love through the art of movement.

The August 11 commencement signals the third charitable journey orchestrated by OLIVER THE ROAD. The intrepid team, comprising Oliver Flores, Erik Bragg, David Reyes, Anthony Alagna, Adrian Andrada, Seu Trinh, and Marque “Shrimpdaddy” Cox, will embark on this epic 2,400-mile expedition, charting a course from the sun-drenched expanse of Los Angeles to the bustling cityscape of Chicago. Their aspirations extend beyond personal achievement as they champion the cause of The Airow Project.

The Airow Project, stationed in Washington State, is a beacon of support for individuals with disabilities, harnessing the power of movement to enrich their lives. The charity ride's purpose lies not just in its ambitious scope but also in raising awareness and vital donations for this commendable cause. A portion of the proceeds garnered from the journey will contribute to The Airow Project's year-round initiatives and the acquisition of handbikes.

As the founder and chairman of OLIVER THE ROAD, this venture holds a poignant significance for Oliver Flores. Celebrating his 50th birthday and the fourth anniversary of his life-changing kidney transplant, this undertaking embodies his triumph over adversity and his commitment to fostering change through movement.

Oliver's personal narrative underscores the tenacity that drives this endeavor. Battling kidney disease and related health challenges, his resilience led him to embrace cycling as a lifeline. His story epitomizes the transformational potential of movement, a journey that he ardently seeks to share.

Support for OLIVER THE ROAD is not just encouraged but is vital to their mission. As a nonprofit organization, all donations extend a hand of support towards promoting health, wellness, and well-being through movement. The journey promises to inspire others to adopt a more active and impactful lifestyle.

Oliver Flores' words encapsulate the journey's essence: "OK, so my name is Oliver Flores. From all overtheroad.org... they see the power of movement and they just promote that with everything."

The Santa Monica Pier launch marks the initiation of an extraordinary feat - a journey of self-discovery, altruism, and the inexorable power of movement.
