Where does the Money go?

In order for me to be able to go on The World Race, I will need to raise $15,500. You may be thinking that this is a lot of money, or maybe that it is not that much for 11 months of income to travel around the world. 

 

Where does the money go?

How are you going to live off of this for 11 whole months?

 

Well, because I am a visual learner, let me put this in graph form for you…

 

 

As a World Racer, the $15,500 is broken down by these categories…

Training Camp–$320 (may 19-26)

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. Again, let me show you through a graph what this will look like. 

 

 

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)
• Sleeping bag (20 – 35 degree) (up to $100)
• 2 person tent (light & small) (about $400)
• 2 round trip tickets to Atlanta Georgia (about $1000 each time)

 

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)

 

I know that it is MORE than possible to have 100% of my funds raised before departure in July, will you be one of the people to make this a reality?

I have full confidence that the money will be raised before I head out on the field. God is so good!!
