Because you all are the reason for this: 


My WR account currently sits at $3,490.25 (and I have a deadline of $3500 by July 1). My savings account (which includes money from fundraisers, donations for gear, etc) currently sits at $3,339.34. 

The second amount is AFTER buying my pack, sleeping bag, tent, and sleeping pad. I only need a few more items there and will have to pay for my shots (which will end up costing somewhere around $250) and insurance ($900 total with the deductible). 

This leaves roughly $2,000 to be added to the $3,490.25..which means I currently have about $5,490.25. All because of people like YOU. I am 35% of the way to my $15,500 goal (that must be raised by March 1). 
THANK YOU.
