Driving to the future of Parkinson's: the search for a cure
Terry and Oliver Holler drive a replica Back to the Future DeLorean to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
Oliver started the project after being diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. The vehicle was modified with parts from junkyards, which cost $511.53. Oliver modified the DeLorean in 3 and a half months, but the couple has been improving it for the last two years. “Why make something yourself?” asks Oliver. “Because you can do it.” Because he did all of the work, he knows how to fix the DeLorean when something breaks. He says that everyone can take pleasure in saying “look what I can do” rather than “look what I can buy.” “Don’t pass up the golden opportunity to be creative,” says Oliver. Terry and Oliver have driven all over North and South America, including a stop in Argentina to film commercials with Christopher Lloyd. They believe that people should do something good with those things they are passionate about. “The car gets a lot of attention,” says Terry. All of the proceeds raised this year will go to finding a cure for Parkinson’s. The DeLorean is available for corporate functions and other parties. The couple has raised over $150,000 so far.
