My Story…
This year, I am honored (and slightly intimidated) to be running the Falmouth Road Race to raise money for NEADS World Class Service Dogs, an organization that has changed countless lives, including my own.
Last year, I was matched with Missy, a wonderful 3 year old black Labrador Retriever. Every day, Missy joins me at Robinson Elementary School, here her calm, gentle nature and exceptional training make a meaningful difference. She brings comfort, joy and connection to everyone she meets. Missy helps students who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, hyperactivity and other challenges. She gives children the confidence to read aloud, express themselves, and feel supported throughout the day.
NEADS is an incredible organization that breeds, raises, and trains service dogs for people with disabilities, veterans, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and children with autism. These dogs provide independence, companionship, and life changing support to so many people.
I would be deeply grateful for any donation to help NEADS continue this important work. Your generosity will help provide more extraordinary dogs like Missy to those who need them most.
Thank you for taking the time to read about this organization and for your support!
