Jets’ Jay Feely Connects with Matheny

"You reach a point when your child needs more than you can give them.  It’s comforting to know there’s a place like Matheny."  New York Jets place kicker Jay Feely was speaking from experience.  His brother, Michael, was mentally and physically disabled all his life, dying at the age of 26 in 2001.  "My mother," Feely told dinner guests at the Matheny Golf Classic, "had to do everything herself, spending days in the car driving to different doctors."  Feely, who visited Matheny the day before the golf outing, said, "What I saw during my visit was how much Matheny helps disabled children and adults to lead a fuller life."

Funds raised at the golf outing, held September 29 at the Somerset Hills Country Club in Bernardsville, will help support the Matheny Center of Medicine and Dentistry, which provides much-needed medical, dental and therapy care to Matheny inpatients and people with disabilities in the community.  Eagle sponsor for the outing was Murray Hill-based C.R. Bard, a leading multinational developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical technologies in vascular, urology, oncology and surgical specialty products.
