Step 7

Before you submit

I understand this is an unpaid, all-volunteer role. *I understand I’m responsible for my own costs: gas and lodging are split among the crew, and meals are on me. We’re working on fuel, food, drink, and nutrition sponsorships to help, but nothing is promised. Lodging is volunteer host families and motels along the way — this is not fancy. *I understand this is physically and mentally demanding— things will go wrong — and I’m ready for it. *
