I have had several people ask how they can help support me and how much this World Race is going to cost. This purpose of this blog is to show you the financial side of my race. It is going to take $15,500 to get me to all 11 countries, and feed me for the whole year. This is a lot of money, but I know that God will provide people to help fund me. Luckily, I do not have to raise all of the money before I leave in July. Adventures In Missions has broken the total down to these deadlines:
· $6,500 – Due 6/17/2013 (2 weeks prior to my trip)
· $11,000 – Due 10/1/2013 (End of 3 months on the field)
· $15,500 – Total Due 1/1/2014 (End of 6 months on the field)
$320 Training Camp
$620 Field Support
$1,860 WR Development Program
$2,635 Administration Fees
$10,075 World Racer
That's 65% of the funds going into my own personal budget which can further be broken down into:
$4,235 Intercontinental Travel
$1,256 Food
$1,758 Lodging
$1,005 Transportation
$1,115 Long Distance Travel & Misc. Supplies

Note: There is a processing fee on all credit/debit cards that will be subtracted from the amount that you wish to give me (Example: I will receive $95.50 when you give me $100.00).
