I want to take this time to explain the cost and where your donations will be used:
In order to participate in the World Race you have to raise $15,500 which covers the cost for when the trip begins. This includes food, lodging, and air, land & sea travel. It also covers administrative, setup, coaching, debrief, and training costs prior to and at the start of the Race.
The $15,500, does not cover the travel to training camp, travel to the start point, return travel from a major U.S city at the conclusion of the Race, medical/travel insurance, gear (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, frame backpack and etc.) and vaccinations.
My goal is to raise the entire amount before I leave for the mission trip, so that I will not have to worry about fundraising while on the field. I’ve estimated that the trip will cost about $20,000. So, I am currently working to save $10,000 and fundraising $10,000.
I would like to thank you all for your donations and support. I still have a little bit more to fundraise, which I am very thankful that I’ve made it thus far. Because of your donations I've been able to receive all my vaccinations, most of my gear and was able to attend training camp in Toccoa, GA. Thank you so much for supporting me!!!
Here are my financial deadlines:
$150 Deposit – Due 12/5/2012 (2 weeks after your acceptance date.)
$3,500 – Due 6/29/2013 (2 weeks before Training Camp)
$6,500 – Due 8/18/2013 (2 weeks prior to your trip)
$11,000 – Due 12/1/2013 (End of 3 months on the field)
$15,500 – Total Due 3/1/2014 (End of 6 months on the field)
Gear and donations!!!
SIDE NOTE: The deadline to have all donations in is March 1, 2014. If you are planning on supporting me monthly please cease the monthly donation on February 2014, otherwise all monthly donations beyond February will go to Adventures in Missions and not my World Race account.
