Alright my dear sweet Brandi Lynn Wilcox did all of the leg work for this and had posted it on her blog but I thought it was so incredible that I would use it to share with all of you. So Thank you Brandi!!
Where does the money go?
1. 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.
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/have donated the following items:
International Medical Insurance (up to $500)
Backpack (aka my closet for 11 months 🙂
Netbook (with built-in webcam)
Sleeping bag (20 – 35 degree)
Sleeping pad
2 person tent (light & small)
(DISCLAIMER: I am going to attempt to purchase most of these items myself, but if you would like to help me along the way just comment or message me.I do already have my backpack, medical insurance, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and I am about to purchase my tent)
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 5/5/2012 (2 weeks before Training Camp)
$6,500 – Due 6/17/2012 (2 weeks prior to your trip)
$11,000 – Due 10/1/2012 (End of 3 months on the field)
$15,500 – Total Due 1/1/2013 (End of 6 months on the field)
