A 100 Day Walking Challenge to Help Those Who Are Challenged All Year Long

San Felipe, Baja California, April 27 - John and Rachel Pack, owners of the Baja Good Life Club, are asking for your support for the BAJA WALK – 100 Day Challenge. An extreme walking challenge that begins May 12 in San Felipe and will take the Pack's on a 2000-mile summer circumnavigation of the Baja peninsula on foot. The Baja Walk is expected to finish on or before August 20, 2012 in Rosarito Beach. The event aims to draw attention and raise funds to assist Baja charities, specifically those charities and organizations that provide aid and support to children, animals and environmental causes.

The Baja Walk will be a death defying experience for the Pack's and Cai, their trusted canine companion who will also walk the 100 Day Challenge with them. The planned course is during Baja’s most water-depraved months of May, June, July and August. The course will take them along the path of many of Baja's mission sites, historic sites, and natural reserves and along the breath-taking whale lagoons. There are serious risks for John, Rachel and Cai along the way such as: heat related illnesses, injuries, limited water supplies, and poisonous creatures such as snakes and scorpions. However, John and Rachel Pack see these dangers and the challenge of the course overall as minor in comparison to the challenges faced by the struggling charities in Baja. The extreme challenge of the Baja Walk is meant to draw attention and raise awareness of these charities, because the revenue for many of these charities has run dry or has been greatly depleted.

Last year, John and Rachel Pack organized the successful Baja Love Ride www.bajaloveride.com   a 4 days and 220 mile bike ride from Rosarito Beach to San Felipe for the San Felipe Blues & Arts Fiesta. This year, John and Rachel Pack have decided to forgo the ride and take all the risks themselves in order to continue to raise support for the charities. Most of the Love Ride team have already pitched in to help make the Baja Walk - 100 Challenge a success, but it will take your help too.

John and Rachel Pack highly encourage Baja residents and Baja Good Life Club members to contribute and follow their progress, even to participate by walking with them through their communities. The Pack's absolutely encourage people to join a support team for making supply and water drops, which will go a long way in helping them achieve the challenge. John and Rachel will also be carrying the Spot Messenger and providing daily messages and live positioning every five minutes from the trail, in addition to a weekly video on Youtube.com.

"We know people are going to say we're crazy, but sometime it takes crazy." says John
