On October 25, 2009, Kelly Tidwell and Lindsey Matteson participated in and finished the 34th Marine Corps Marathon as part of the 600 member Team Semper Fi. Lindsey finished in approximately 5 hours beating Kelly by almost an hour and 20 minutes. No winners or losers here though as the money raised between the two of them came to a total of $4,830.00, a large portion of which came from Elite Power System’s generator sales (Elite donated $100.00 for every 30kW and smaller generator sold). This money raised helped Team Semper Fi reach their final goal of raising $350,000.00, which will be used to aid in the recovery of injured marines & sailors by covering expenses not covered by health insurance (like plane tickets for families to be at the bedside of an injured loved one, or transportation to and from doctor’s appointments). A special thanks goes out to all who donated money and support and to all who purchased generators to help raise money for this excellent cause!
