I will have to raise $15,500 in order to go on The World Race. I’m sure you are curious about how I will be able to go to 11 countries in 11 months on this amount of money. Read below to see the numbers being crunched and where your donations go.
Where does the money go?
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 – (Covers my cultural training before departure)
- Field Support–$620 – (Helping to get us supplies, local contacts, etc.)
- WR Development Program–$1,860 (Improvements and Developments)
- Administration Fees–$2,635 – (Processing, paying the staff who literally sets up all of our travel, meals, missions, etc.)
- World Racer–$10,075
As you can see, 65% of the funds I will be raising go towards my expenses for the 11 months. Let me show you through a graph what this will look like.
