Another one of my squad mates posted this information and I wanted to provide y’all with the info seeing as you all are a huge part in sending me on the race!
So if you have questions about where all of this money is going- here is hopefully where those questions will be answered! The following is a cost breakdown for the World Race trips as of November 7, 2011:
Program Expenses:
This category includes direct and indirect costs such as training camp, participant field expenses and support field expenses. Essentially, this covers the costs for my 11-month trip – meals, lodging, and travel by land, sea or air as well as the premium for my travel insurance.
Program Development:
Funds are reinvested into the general World Race fund to grow the program and international relationships.
Administrative Expenses:
Overhead covers all indirect expenses such as accounting, IT, human resources, donor relations, marketing and development departments.
Items not covered in the $16,254:
- Vaccinations and Medicine: (haven’t looked into this cost yet)
- Gear (backpack, tent, sleeping pad, etc.): (I will have a gift registry in the next few months if you would like to support me in this way)
- Flights to and from US Launch/Receiving city: (we will most likely launch from ATL so i won’t need a flight for that but we won’t know for a while where we will touch back down in the USA so that might be a cost)
I hope this helps answer any questions and as always, Im here to provide info 🙂
If you would like to give a donation there is a link located under my photo on the left hand side 😀 every dollar counts and gets me one step closer to Asia!
