Hey Ya'll!
So as I'm writing this blog post I've found out that blogging is A LOT harder than I thought it would be! I admire those people that can blog daily and it is FABULOUS, that is totally not me… maybe soon it will be, but as for now I will continue to butcher this whole blogging thing! 🙂
So in this blog post I will be telling you just a little bit about what I am doing, and where this route is taking me! I have done my best to memorize all the places that I am going, and still have to use my hands to keep count! (I tend to repeat a country or two)
This is my route friends!
It will take me to Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Nepal, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. Every time I name off that list I get a little chill.. I just cant stop thinking about all the things that my team and I will have the opportunities to do. I cannot wait to see what God does through my team in these places.. and how He is going to wreck our lives in so many ways!
The next thing is cost. When I answer this question I usually get a lot of open mouths and…
que silence! Here is the less scary break down of all that I need to raise.
* $3,500 by June 28th
​* $6,500 by August 18th
* $11,000 by the end of 3 months
* $15,500 by the end of 6 months on the field.
This money will cover most of the costs while on the field. (plane tickets, visas, etc.) it does not however cover the cost of gear that I need for the race, insurance, vaccinations, etc. With that said, I would LOVE to actually raise over that amount to cover most of those expenses as well. Who knew "roughing it" could cost so much!
This seems like an unattainable goal I know, but the best part about all of this is that God is in total control. He got me this far in this crazy journey and I fully trust that he will be with me every step of the way in this! Yes I will probably have to ask over and over again for money and that is going to be SUPER hard. I am going to have to work hard to get yard sales going.. car washes.. bake sales.. you name it, I will do it! I will need help with this even when I do not ask for it 🙂
If you feel led to help me out financially there are a couple things that you can do!
You can click on the "Support Me" link on the side of the page to set up a one time or monthly donation online. There is also a link to tell how you can send in donations if you would rather write a check!
Once again you can subscribe to this blog to get the updates of preparation for the race and while I am out on the field!
Thank you to everyone who is praying for me and sharing in this new exciting adventure!
