My leaving on this grand adventure for 11 months is starting to set in and becoming really real! So, my preparation for the trip has also increased and has become a become a greater priority. I have been teaching myself simple things now (i.e. Not wearing as much make-up. Taking less time to get ready in the morning, etc.) in order to make life on the road easier. That way it isn’t a shock when I don’t have these luxuries any more.
Another point of my preparation has been personal. I have been sure to soak-up all the time I can with my loved ones and value the moments I get to spend with them. I have been taking lots of pictures so that I can print them and take me with me on the road. I have been really trying to allow the reality of what I am about to embark on soak -in for me and my family.
Come July… I will be going to training camp which will allow me to become even more prepared! I will finally get to meet my team in person!!!! YAY!!!! and I will also get to test out my gear. It is going to be a great “dry-run” for all of us and I know this is going to help us get a great feeling for the race.

There has been a change to my launch… I was going to leave in August. However, due to low attendance I have been re-routed to September. So, my trip has been delayed by one month and I will be going to different countries as well.
I will now be traveling to; Eastern Europe (Moldova, Romania, Albania & Kosovo) South Africa (Mozambique, Swaziland & South Africa) and South/Central America (Colombia, Peru, Bolivia & Ecuador).
I am SOOOO excited for this change and know that it is going to be a great fit for me!!!
What can you do??
1.) PRAYER!!!!! There is so much unknown on this journey. The best way to prepare is to pave the way in prayer! So, when it crosses your mind please say a prayer for me!
2.) Financial Support. If you are able PLEASE help support me financially. I can’t do this without your help. Every little bit counts
