Oz
for a Cause gears up to launch two average young men
from Los Angeles, California to Australia; whereupon
they will circumnavigate the continent by bike to
raise over $1 million for charity.
Oz
for a Cause is gearing up two early twenty-year-old
men in an attempt to ride bicycles over 10,000 miles
around Australia. In partnership with two selected
charities, The Child Foundation and The Surfrider
Foundation (Aus), these average “city slickers”
with little familiarity of the outdoors and no experience
with the wilds of Australia, will embark on an unforgettable
adventure by early Feb. 2005.
Los
Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 15, 2004 -- Oz for a Cause
is a physical, mental, and emotional challenge to
raise global awareness and money to benefit underprivileged
children and the environment. Oz for a Cause is encouraging
all individuals and all entities worldwide, to rally
behind a positive cause. For the selected charities
in particular, but also to promote a global community
in general by use of internet and film media. By utilizing
a global community that is dedicated to bettering
our world, the riders believe they will exceed their
goal of $1 million for charity and in the process
raise the expectations of today’s youth, to realize
what is possible when belief and determination are
combined.
Being
young adults themselves, Oz for a Cause understands
that "preaching" to young people most often
generates the opposite of the desired result. The
most effective means possible is to film the journey
as a documentary with its struggles and triumphs and
use it as a medium. By using film, young people will
be able to watch the three riders, journey with them,
struggle with them, be able to identify with them
- and ultimately think that they could do what the
riders are doing and do it better. Current media is
full of real life scenarios of people thrown together
and encouraged to succeed at the cost of others. The
riders’ goals are to help each other to rise
above self interest and to achieve for the greater
good of the group.
Oz
for a Cause is raising awareness and money for two
very important areas of concern. The Child Foundation,
which follows the United Nation's millennium goals
and mission, is an organization dedicated to giving
disadvantaged, talented children, around the world,
the opportunity to attend school. The Surfrider Foundation
(Aus) is dedicated to the protection and enhancement
of Australia's oceans, waves, and beaches for all
to enjoy.
