It hit me… in 151 days – August 1st 2016 – my life will never be the same. I am beyond excited and equally terrified at all the change that is taking place!
I just wanted to give y’all a little info you may be asking about.
I will be at training camp in Georgia June 8th-18th, where my teammates and I will come together for intense preparation for the Race.
You can read more about Training Camp here!
Through these next 5 months I will be fundraising like a crazy person eventually meeting my goal of about $17,500. I know, that’s an insane amount of money but if you think about it from the perspective of 11 months it gets a little better (at least that’s what I keep telling myself).
That covers all of my field expenses this includes food, lodging, and air, land & sea travel
It does not include: Gear (such as a hiking backpack, tent, sleeping pad, etc.) personal spending money, travel to the training camp, travel to the start point (Georgia), medical insurance, and vaccinations.
With that said, please let me know if you feel led to support me by helping provide any of the gear or travel costs to training camp (ex: frequent flyer miles) needed outside the original amount.
I, of course, am prepared to purchase all these necessities on my own but it’s also a tangible way of seeing how your donation helps me!
Fundraising Deadlines:
- $5,000 – Due 5/13/2016 (Fundraising Goal 1)
- $10,000 – Due 7/22/2016 (Fundraising Goal 2)
- $13,000 – Due 9/30/2016 (Fundraising Goal 3)
- $17,361 – Due 11/30/2016 (Fundraising Goal 4)
I have ordered bracelets and t-shirts are in the process of being ordered for fundraising to reach these goals! I am truly trusting God with all of this because I can not do this on my own. Honestly, this whole process has been extremely overwhelming and I would appreciate all prayers as I continue this journey!
To anyone who actually read this all- THANK YOU, YOU ROCK.
This concludes my first blog. *woop woop*
