These are just the tools for increasing a successful outcome in a +8300 kilometer run across Canada.
Great athletic preparations must also be considered and included.
What is produced in value far exceeds the cost.
- The highest paid athlete in the world earns a total of $55million(CAD) or $41million(USD)/year
- this revenue could pay for my journey within
4 hours of what would be earned in a year.
Cost of watching a 2 hour game could cost you +$100.
Cost in months watching the effort and stories of an incredible journey across Canada
much less
With approximately 440 000 people living in Halifax, Nova Scotia; to produce the above required products, it would cost about $0.05
from every Haligonian.
Given an approximated $25 000 budget;
I could accomplish and survive a run from Halifax, across Newfoundland and the rest of the Canadian Provinces.
For further perspective, this is less than a
full-time minimum wage employee would earn.
