Raising Support - I understand that part of my participation in this trip requires that I raise support to be on this team. I accept responsibility for raising the full amount required and will pay towards the difference of what is not raised out of my own funds should I need to. Inability to raise support in a timely manner can result in the loss of my spot on the team.

I Agree
