I will expect the unexpected. That's the great thing about God. When you think you have it all figured out, He comes and blows your expectations out of the water. I know that He is going to do some amazing things on this trip and I'm so excited to be apart of what He's going to do.
Here's the kicker, this trip costs $13,500. This includes food, lodging, and air, land & sea travel. It does not include: personal spending money, travel to the training, travel to the start point, return travel home from a major U.S. city at the conclusion of the Race, vaccinations and all of my gear.
I won't be able to do this alone. I need your help. I have financial deadlines that must be met.
$3,000 is due on September 28th, 2013
$5,500 is due on December 18th, 2013
$9,500 is due on April 1st, 2014
$13,500 is due on July 1st, 2014

I will believe and trust that God will provide. 🙂
