My Story…

Hello !  

This is my 11th year running the Falmouth Road Race.  I’m so thrilled to once again be running for “Dogs For Better Lives”.  

Your donation, no matter the amount, will help us reach our goal and make a positive impact.  If donating is not possible at this time, sharing this fundraiser with others would also be a tremendous help.  

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.  It is truly appreciated.

With Gratitude,

Marie Buckner


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.
