Miles for Matheny Rolls Out on Sunday, June 1

The 17th annual Miles for Matheny, the Matheny Medical and Educational Center's fundraiser and community event, will be held on Sunday, June 1, at Liberty Park in downtown Peapack. The event, which began as a small wheelchair walk and cycling ride in 1998, has grown to include a wheelchair walk, five cycling rides, a 5K run and a kids fun run. Matheny is a special hospital and educational facility in Peapack for children and adults with medically complex developmental disabilities.

Activities include:

The Lu Huggins Wheelchair Walk, where friends and family members enjoy walking alongside more than 100 Matheny children and adults who "wheel" through the streets of downtown Peapack to the cheers of community members and other supporters.

5K Road Race through the beautiful Somerset Hills on town and rural roads.

Five Cycling Routes through the picturesque countryside.

Kids Fun Run for children, ages 3-10.

"Breakfast of Champions", provided by The Friends of Matheny.

All money raised at Miles for Matheny will benefit the Matheny Center of Medicine and Dentistry, which provides medical, dental and therapy care to Matheny inpatients and to people with disabilities living in communities throughout New Jersey.
