I am not a numbers person. But for those of you wondering where your money wil be going, one of my teammates, Brandi Wilcox, broke everything down and figured out how it's going to be used for my trip.

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 International Medical Insurance (up to $500) 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 need to have $498.50 more before May 5th so if you have been wanting to donate, NOW is the time!
