Funds Collected 16 October 2007
Hello to all of our friends, family, and all of you who supported my daughter & I on our Walk this past spring! Just a little up-date for all of you who supported us on our Walk. We raised a little over $33,000 dollars for our wounded military! We have planned to send checks to both east coast Injured Marine/Semper Fi Fund, and the west coast Injured Marine/ Semper Fi Fund. These checks will be in the amount of $10,000 each! Our plan is to send these checks to both coasts and have them arrive on Veterans Day, Nov. 11th 2007. With the remaining money we hope to start a Fisher House near our VA hospital in Cheyenne, WY. Also, we plan to have annual events here in our home state of WY in the ensueing years, and we still plan to support the Injured Marine/Semper Fi Fund and the Fisher House Foundation on a national level as well. Thank you again for all your help, support, & prayers! We appreciate it so much. Gretchen Mack Mother of Lcpl Chance R. Phelps, USMC, KIA Iraq, 4/9/04 Kelley Phelps-Orndoff Sister of Lcpl Chance R. Phelps
