MOST people that do the hard yards on charity also put a lot of ther own time and money into there quest due to them being a believer of the cause, so dont assume that those who have do it because there
tight fisted.
Once your on the road you will be surprised at how little money you will use.
But in saying that if you decide to do it for a charity, do it right and actually make them some money and actually donate it in person, it will be quicker to fund it yourself so get moving.
I think Rowan nailed it on the head in the above comment.
