Walk Complete · The 2026 MCF walk

Children need
your help.

Steve walked from Phoenix, AZ to Rocky Point, MX: 200.4 miles over 8 days, through 100-degree heat and thunderstorms, with supporters, media, and the Mayor of Sonoyta, MX joining him along the way. So far, we’ve raised over $57,000. Let’s keep giving as we come into the holiday season.

The people behind the purpose

More than a beautiful place.
A place we care for.

Beyond the sunsets and the Sea of Cortez are families who call Puerto Peñasco home. When medical care or school essentials are out of reach, MCF helps close the gap.

What began as a desire to help in 2003 has become a lasting commitment to this community.
