THE EVENT
Are you looking for a country run where
city life seems far away? If so, look no further than the Miles for
Matheny 5K Run. Hundreds of athletes will join us for a morning of
running, biking and fun.
And, when you finish, you are invited to
go up the hill to the Matheny Medical and Educational Center for their
famous celebration picnic with great food, music and entertainment.
You’ll get to meet some of the wonderful Matheny residents and see where
your money goes.
So bring your running shoes, and if there
are cyclists in your family, they may want to try the 12, 23, 32 or 50
mile rides through the local countryside. There is also "The Hills of
Attrition" for climbers. Routes 287, 78 or 206 get you there in a flash!
NEW FOR 2010:
We are moving Miles to NATIRAR, a 411 acre property owned by Somerset
County, nestled among the scenic hills of Peapack-Gladstone, Bedminster
and Far Hills. This splendid estate will now be home to our 5K run,
Wheel chair Walk, Kids Runs and the staging area for our bike rides.
The 5K Run will now be a multi-surface event run on pavement and
hard gravel.
Miles for Matheny --
Walkin’, Wheelin’ and Runnin’!

WHO
BENEFITS?
The Matheny
Medical and Educational Center is dedicated to helping children and adults
with medically complex developmental disabilities achieve the highest
quality of life possible. These complex disabilities include cerebral palsy,
spina bifida, Lesch-Nyhan disease, and a range of associated clinical
conditions that affect every single aspect of these individual's lives.
Located in Peapack, New Jersey the Matheny facilities include a JCAHO
Accredited teaching hospital, a Middle States Accredited special education
school, a Community Services program which includes early evaluation and
early intervention services, and most notably, The Center of Medicine and
Dentistry which provides specialized medical, dental, and therapy services
to children and adults with complex developmental disabilities on an
inpatient basis. In addition, the Center offers outpatient care to meet the
healthcare needs of people with all types of disabilities who live in
communities throughout New Jersey. Staffed by an elite team of specially
trained physicians, dentists, therapists, nurses, and rehab technicians,
Matheny’s Center is unique in that it provides these outpatient services all
under one roof.
For 63 years, Matheny has been providing the most vulnerable children and
adults in our society with professional care and loving attention. In fact,
no other entity in New Jersey offers the range of programs and services in
one setting, focused only on children and adults with medically complex
developmental disabilities. Without access to Matheny, many patients and
their families would be isolated, without a community to share strengths,
hope and friendships.
While you are not required to fundraise in order to participate in Miles for
Matheny, we encourage you to go that extra mile and help us raise funds for
The Center of Medicine and Dentistry by reaching out to family, friends, and
co-workers to sponsor your participation. It’s easy to do online at
www.milesformatheny.org. <http://www.milesformatheny.org.>
Matheny is a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization.
