First off, I've seen this posted on some of squad mates blogs and wanted to share it with you all. Secondly, it's a better description of where all the money you all donate will actually be going and I'm a nerd and enjoy graphs. So here goes…
In order for me to go on the World Race, I'll need to raise $15,500
As a World Racer, the $15,500 is broken down to these categories:
- Training Camp — $320
- Field Support — $620
- WR Development Program — $1,860
- Administrative Fees — $2,635
- World Racer — $10,075
As you can see, 65% of the funds that I will be raising go towards my expenses for the 11 months. Again, let me show you through a graph what this will look like:
My budget is broken down into these categories:
- Intercontinental Travel — $4,235
- Food — $1,256.25
- Lodging — $1,758.75
- Long Distance Travel & Misc. Supplies — $1,115.55
In addition to the expense of $15,500, I will need to purchase/have donated the following items:
- Immunization shots
- Gear (Tent, Pack, Sleeping pad, etc.)
DEADLINES: As with most fundraising, there are deadlines that AIM has set up that I am required to meet. Here they are:
- $3,500 — Due October 1 (Two weeks before Training Camp)
- $6,500 — Due December 15 (Two weeks before I launch)
- $11,000 — Due March 2013 (End of 3 months on the field)
- $15,500 — Due June 2013 (End of 6 months on the field)
It's more than possible for me to have 100% of my funds raised by the time I depart in January, so how about you become one of the people to make this a reality?
