The Salt 100 is to publicize the launch of sales for Pro Fide’s premiere mission-product, Lepanto Fitness Bath Salt, a social enterprise benefiting Catholic life in Pakistan.
This is a 100 kilometer ultramarathon from the famous Rubicon River to the city of Bologna along the route of the ancient Via Aemilia, run by Eamonn Clark, founder of Pro Fide, LLC.
This is not Eamonn’s first big run… see the last one here (100 miles!), for a Catholic clinic in Malawi. While the distance is shorter, the heat will be intense – Italian August is infamous, and the valley around Bologna is a heat-sink. That means a lot of sodium – salt! – will be necessary to take in during the run.
Eamonn will communicate with supporters through a dedicated WhatsApp group, through which he can be tracked in real-time as he runs from San Marino to Bologna.
USA supporters can join by making a pre-order at our online store and confirming their pre-order and sharing their WhatsApp number by contacting us at profidellc@gmail.com or contacting Eamonn directly. Supporters outside the USA can make a donation to Pro Fide of at least $20 USD at this link and subsequently share their WhatsApp number with us. Anyone (USA or not) who donates $200 or more will get a shout-out during the run (if time, energy, etc. allows, unless anonymity is requested). Only DONORS at the $200 level will get a shout-out (the sum does not include pre-orders for simplicity’s sake). Donate here.
The group chat allows for real-time GPS tracking of Eamonn as well as text, photo, and video updates from him and the team, along with the ability to react and respond to all content in the group chat. (Please understand that Eamonn cannot promise to respond personally to every message during the run.)
Part of the donations will help with our partnering beneficiary, the Dominican House of Studies in Karachi. (Note that the house/Order is NOT officially sponsoring the event or product.) Part will help us fund our work as we create a long-term sustainable source of revenue for the same beneficiary, for Catholic workers, and other worthy humanitarian and apostolic causes in Pakistan.
If you would like to make a larger gift in exchange for visible sponsorship (in the group chat, on race equipment, in the documentary), please contact us to discuss the options. Sponsorship packages begin at $500.
More information will be shared in the group chat closer to the race. See you inside!
