My Story…
Hello Friends and Family!
Thank you for visiting my page!
As you all know, two of the things closest to my heart are dogs and running—though rarely at the same time!
This year, as I have been maneuvering my own life stuff, I have become even MORE acutely aware of the power of dogs: their companionship, loyalty, love, and unwavering devotion. I know how
fortunate I am to have three! Life is hard, and not everyone has a dog or easy access to resources to better manage their challenges and disabilities.
As I have been pushing myself to gain ground—both in my mind and on the pavement—to improve myself and make a difference in the world, I decided to run for a Charity Team at the Falmouth Road Race which takes place on Sunday, August 16th.
Participating on behalf of Dogs for Better Lives brings together some of my life’s passions: dogs, running, and Tikkun Olam(repairing the world).
Thank you SO much for supporting me and my run and of course, this incredible organization!
Fingers crossed that it’s not a “Triple H” day and that afterwards, the wait at
Papa Gino’s is not toooo long!

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.
