Challenge 2016

I am Aidas Ardzijauskas (born 6 February 1971 in Kaunas, Lithuania)  and I am a Lithuanian ultra-distance runner. From 1994 till now I also work as a firefighter. 
I started running in 1980 and in 35 years I have run more than 80 000 kilometers (1980-2015). From 2008 I began to actively participate in ultra-marathons and activities related to ultra-marathons. I am also one of the founders of Lithuanian ultra-society. 
 
I am raising money to meet my year 2016 challenge which is to participate in these races:
1. 6 day race, New York (USA),23.04.2016-29.04.2016, 1st place (517 miles / 832,023km);

4. Relay race in Hood to Coast, Portland, (USA); 26/27.08.2016;
5. 24 Hour European Championships, Albi, France, 23-24.10.2016;
6. 6 day race, Balatonfured, Hungary, May 2017,
in order to prepare myself for the fulfillment of my dream - to cross South America by running from Buenos Aires to Iquique and back in year 2017.

Money would be used for the plane tickets, travel documents, visas, registration fees, accommodation, food and transportation. 

I need the money on 10th of April, 2016 at latest.
