Hello everyone!

I have some exciting news: after a lot of prayer and clarity from the Lord I have decided to join the January 2021 Expedition squad! Due to all the changes brought on by Covid, my original squad isn’t able to relaunch as hoped. We were given the options to join an upcoming squad, defer to a later launch, or move on from the Race to ministries at home. Me, along with about 9 others from my previous squad, committed to the new Expedition squad and hope to launch internationally in January. We will be doing another training camp in October where we will meet the rest of our new squad! Our route is still subject to change so I don’t have a specific country list to refer to yet, but hopefully we will have it more solidified as we get closer to January.

Since I have decided to relaunch, I will be starting to fundraise again. I was fully funded for my last race, so the majority of my new goal has already been covered. My new total is $13,000, and I currently have $9,650 raised. If you are interested in supporting me through one-time or monthly donations, here are a few ways to donate:

  1. My blog- alaynawood.theworldrace.org – click the donate button at the top of my profile page and follow the directions. This is how to do tax deductible donations and where you can subscribe to get updates on my journey.

  2. Venmo- @alaynawood – not tax deductible 

  3. Check– Please reach out to me personally if you are interested in this option.

I have a few fundraisers coming up, starting with $10 on the 10th of September! I will also be sending out updated support letters, so let me know if you would like one.

Keep an eye out for how you can get involved in my fundraising process, and please continue to pray for me and my new squad as we prepare for what the Lord has for us next year.
