Last Thursday I had my Joto’s pizza fundraiser. I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that came out to help support my trip it means a ton, even if I only made a little over a $100. I will be hosting a few more fundraisers here in the up coming weeks, hopefully one at Nekton surf shop.
In other news training camp is in three days (July 6th-16th). I’m super excited to meet the rest of my team and find out exactly where I will be in each country. My friend Jared who just got back from the race will be driving my friend Ryan and I up. He’s been giving us a lot of advice and tips on what to do and what not to, telling us what we will need, how to pack our new travel packs, and what the over all trip is going to be like. (his blog is jaredcelosse.theworldrace.org if you want to learn about his trip he just took).
as far as fundraising is going I’d say I’m doing better than some but not great. I have about $6,300 raised. I need $10,000 to leave in September and by December I need $15,000 to remain on the race. It’s a little nerve racking, I’ve been praying a lot about it and I’m sure the money will come one way or another. just remember anything helps though whether it be prayer, donation, or even sharing the news of my trip to people who haven’t heard about it.
I apologize for the lack of blogs time management isn’t a strong suit for me. I will have another one posted about training camp the week I return home though. I will also keep everyone updated on fundraisers through here and on social media so keep your eyes open!
