Three Y's Guys with One Common Cause - Marathon Swim for Bi-polar Disorder

"The Three Y's Guys" will participate in a 24-mile swim relay in Tampa Bay, Florida to raise funds and awareness about bipolar disease.  Martino Caretto of Basking Ridge, Paul Kiell of Far Hills and Doug Munch of Morristown will swim in honor of Caretto's son, Richard, who tragically lost his life in April 2009 after waging a valiant and painful battle with bipolar disorder.  Richard was a volunteer at Saturdays in Motion and tutored special needs children as well as volunteered assisting patients with dementia.  The fundraising relay will benefit Saturday in Motion, a recreational program for children with autism and their families held at the Somerset Hills YMCA for the past nineteen years.  Contributions of $50 or more will receive an autographed copy of Dr. Paul Kiell's new book Exercise and the Mind and all contributors will receive an honorary blue ribbon.  Please make (tax deductible) checks payable to the Somerset Hills YMCA.  Visit the website for more information or contact Kelly Castro at 908-766-7898.
