I found a great breakdown of the cost of the worldrace posted by Brandi Wilcox and have adapted it to fit my route’s finacial breakdown:
In order for me to be able to go on The World Race, I will need to raise $15,500. You may be thinking that this is a lot of money, or maybe that it is not that much for 11 months of income to travel around the world.
Where does the money go?
How are you going to live off of this for 11 whole months?
As a World Racer, the $15,500 is broken down by these categories…
- Training Camp–$320
- Field Support–$620
- WR Development Program–$1,860
- Administration 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–$4,235.00
- Food–$1,256.25
- Lodging–$1,758.75
- Transportation–$1,005.00
- Long Distance Travel & Misc. Supplies–$1,115.55
In addition to the expense of $15,500, I will need to purchase the following items:
- International Medical Insurance ($300)
- Backpack
- Immunization Shots
- Sleeping Bag (20 – 35 degree)
- Sleeping Pad
- 2 Person Tent (light & small)
(DISCLAIMER: I have purchased most of these items already myself, but if you would like to help toward any of these expenses, let me know!)
DEADLINES: As with most fundraising, there are deadlines that are set up by AIM that I am required to meet. Here they are…
- $3,500 – Due 7/1/2012 (2 weeks before Training Camp)
- $6,500 – Due 8/18/2012 (2 weeks prior to your trip)
- $11,000 – Due 12/1/2012 (End of 3 months on the field)
- $15,500 – Total Due 3/1/2013 (End of 6 months on the field)
It is MORE than possible to have 100% of my funds raised before departure in September, will you be one of the people to make this a reality?
I know that God has called me to go on The World Race and I know that He will provide for all of my needs. Let me introduce you to some truths that God has laid on my heart from His Word.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
He is sending me to share Him throughout the nations!
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
God is going to provide for my every need with going on The World Race whether it is the $15,500 or if it is my own personal needs.
God is calling me to go, is He calling you to send me?
