Another one of my squad mates posted this information and I wanted to provide everyone 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: $1500-$2500 Working to get these set up now.
• Gear (backpack, tent, sleeping pad, etc.): Approximately $864. I have a registry @  http://www.myregistry.com/organization/Tina-Sakers-Abingdon-MD/678200 if you would like to help me purchase the gear I need.
• Flights to and from US Launch/Receiving city: I do not have this information yet.
  

I hope this helps answer any questions you have about allocation of funds.
