Costi da sponsorizzare
La stima dei costi per l’intero viaggio sara’ di circa 22.000 euro , divisa approssivativamente in questo modo:
- 2.000 – vestiti , tenda , fotocamera , GPS ed altri equipaggiamenti
- 1.000 – visti per paesi extraeuropei
- 10.000 – costi per trasporti ( 6 biglietti aerei, 2 barca )
- 7.000 – vitto e alloggio nei diversi paesi
- 2.000 – fondo d’emergenza ( che andra’ a Safe Passage Foundation se non utilizzato )
- 5000 – scorta su auto/moto
A cycle of such ambitious proportions cannot be accomplished without moral and financial backing. My bicycle and spare parts have been sponsored by Mario Schiano, while Brooks is helping with quality rain proof panniers. Any companies or individuals interested in sponsoring other aspects of the ride, please contact me directly at amani_jb <@> yahoo.com.
Ultimately it may come down to a grass roots by the people, for the people campaign to get me and my bike the full 40,000 kilometer circumference.
My current estimate of expenses for the entire trip amounts to 22,000 euros and is roughly broken down as follows:
- 2,000 – clothes, tent, camera, GPS, satellite charger and other equipment
- 1,000 – country visas
- 10,000 – transport costs (6 plane, 2 boat tickets)
- 7,000 – monthly expenses (food, accommodation)
- 2,000 – emergency funds (to be put into Safe Passage Foundation if not used)
- 5,000 – back up support
In the unlikely advent of something going terribly wrong such as kidnapping by wily pygmies who recognise in my gangly height the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, or Somalian pirates holding me ransom off the coast of, well, some place neither they nor I should be, all donations for the cycle will go to my charity, Safe Passage Foundation. Alternatively, a refund will be given to those who request it.
If you wish to donate towards the ride and add your name to my sponsors, you may make a designated donation to Safe Passage Foundation. If you prefer to use Google Wallet rather than Paypal (or mailing in a check) to make a donation, please visit the the other Safe Passage Foundation donation page. Safe Passage Foundation (EIN: 30-0188676) is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization that provides resources, support and advocacy for youth raised in restrictive, isolated or high-demand communities, often referred to as “cults” by society at large. Donations to Safe Passage Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
