Budget
17 October 2014Mongol budget in New Zealand Dollars This budget includes vehicle and entry fee for the whole team. We do not expect to have all our costs covered. Therefore each team member is paying approximately $5000 on their own trip for flights and activities on the way (e.g. skydives, paragliding). I am being very realistic in the costing. This is what we need to fund the expedition. Any funding that goes over this budget then falls into a trust account, dedicated to Makingtrax clients in New Zealand giving others with disabilities the chance to experience an adventure of their own. Our primary goal is to raise funds for the New Zealand disabled community to experience freedom through adventure. This will be part of the project as an ongoing fundraiser whilst on our expedition. PERSONAL COSTS (per person) FLIGHTS$ 2300 INSURANCE PERSONAL $ 100 VISAS $ 800 For Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan & Mongolia These are subject to change as final route is not confirmed Return from Mongolia $ 300 I want to cover flights/insurance/visas for my carer, with the donations (covers one carer) Total $ 3500 TEAM COSTS (per vehicle) REGISTRATION FEE $ 1040 VEHICLE COST $ 6000 VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS $ 1500 FERRY COSTS From Dover the Calais $ 150 FUEL $ 3800 We have worked out that for 10,000 miles traveling in our trusty bus it will take around 1575 litres of diesel roughly so if we round that up to 1600 litres and times it by the average fuel price in Europe which is about 1.50 euros cost 2.400 euros which is NZ$ 3767 CAR INSURANCE $ 150 VEHICLE DEPOSIT (refunded after Rally if car survives) $ 2400 Total $ 15,040 Two Vehicles $ 30,080 ACCOMMODATION & FOOD COSTS $ 1600 Five weeks $600 food we will be camping or crashing in our van however being me I will need to have two to three nights in accommodation budget $200 per week 5 weeks $1000 Extra costs $ 1500 This is for emergencies, breakdowns, bribes etc. Website $ 500 T-shits printed for team & sale $ 250 Total $ 3850 Over all costs with one vehicle Total $ 22,390 Over all costs with two vehicles Total $ 37,430 Our goal is to raise 100.000 NZD which goes into Makingtrax Trust. Makingtrax Trust is a trust set up to give structure and legality to the funds raised. Meaning all the funds raised over and above our budget stated will be available and used solely for Makingtrax adaptions, activities, events and bringing life changing opportunities to the disabled community via freedom through adventure. No funds will be used for financial benefit to any individual. It's all about our cause!!! Vehicles will be auctioned off on their return to England and these funds will go to the trust That is if they survive the journey All profits from merchandise will go to the trust On completion of the rally if we cross the finish line our vehicle deposits of $2,400 per vehicle will be refunded this will go to the trust. Any sponsorship covering our budget, extra funds saved will go to the trust Quoted by our film Director Zoe McIntosh I believe this film has a big audience. The obvious one is the disabled community, where this will serve as a hugely inspirational tool. It will undoubtedly encourage them to see the positive possibilities and outcomes one with determination can achieve, rather than see their disability as a setback. Then there is the audience interested in outdoor extreme sports. The extreme sports that Jeremy will be undergoing are by no means done in halves. They will be just as crazy as any other extreme sportsmen attempts. Lastly, I believe that this is a universal story that everyone can relate to and be moved by. While observing Jeremyfs quest one canft help but re-evaluate their own outlook and approach to life. Jeremyfs story is a wake-up call to all of us - not to take life for granted, to push ourselves and to embrace every day whole-heartedly. He proves that with a powerful and strong mind everything is possible. Makingtrax & Team are looking for sponsors to cover vehicles (car companies), fuel costs, air tickets, camping & outdoor equipment, accessible equipment etc. We can promote sponsors in many ways from vehicle logos, media, social media and much more.
