My Story…
I'm so excited to be running Falmouth this year for Dogs for Better Lives, a non- profit that has been training and placing Assistance Dogs to people across the United States since 1977. They are the oldest provider of Hearing Assistance Dogs in the U.S.
Dogs for Better Lives is one of the few national Assistance Dog organizations that trains shelter dogs to become Service Dogs – in addition to utilizing purpose-bred dogs. And, thanks to donor support, they are able to offer these amazing dogs at no cost to their clients.
Dogs are very near and dear to my heart, and I couldn't think of a better organization to support. Thanks so much for your support!!!

Description
Dogs for Better Lives trains and places Assistance Dogs free of charge with deaf or hard-of-hearing adults, children diagnosed with autism, and licensed professionals working with vulnerable communities so people with disabilities can lead safer and more independent lives. Our Northeast Training Campus opened in 2022 in Falmouth, and we're very excited to have a team of runners in the 53rd Falmouth Road Race, for a fourth year!
The average cost to train a service dog is $54,000 but we place our dogs at zero cost to our clients. Every dollar you raise for Dogs for Better Lives will go programmatic expenses.
