Beloved Service Dog Inspires “Moxie’s Mission” Charity Run
October 20th – Bar K Dog Bar, Kansas City

The first of a series of planned Moxie’s Mission fundraisers, the 6-Legged Relay Race will be held on Sunday, October 20th at Bar K Dog Bar, 501 Berkley Parkway in Kansas City. Activities will include a relay race (each team consists of five humans and at least one dog; fee is $25 per person) and dog talent show ($5 entry fee). Check-in begins at 8:00am.

Kansas City – One good deed—or in this case, dog—deserves another. That’s the inspiration behind Moxie’s Mission, a 6-Legged Relay Fun Run to be held October 20th at Bark K Dog Bar.

The run at 9 a.m., and activities from 10:30 until noon. The event will include the relay race, pet costume contest, and family friendly activities.

Moxie’s Mission is the brainchild of Katie Harris, who was born with a disabling condition, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome—and whose life has been greatly enriched by a mini-goldendoodle named Moxie, her service dog in training.

“Moxie has changed my life,” says Katie, a high school social worker. “I want to give this amazing gift to someone else who needs it but can’t afford it on their own.”

A fully-trained service dog costs $15,000-$20,000, depending on what tasks the pup is trained to perform. All funds raised by the charity run will be donated to the American Service Dog Association in Kansas City, a 501c3 non-for-profit.

“Never Much of a Dog Person”
Although Katie was born with Ehlers Danlos—a rare disease of the connective tissue that causes overly-flexible joints, easily-bruised, elastic skin and fragile organs—she wasn’t diagnosed until 2011. Over the years, Katie endured many hospitalizations, surgeries and joint dislocations, as well as chronic pain. Last year, she started using a wheel chair.

At the same time, she became obsessed with getting a dog. Although never much of a dog person (she had been bitten as a child), she fell in love with her father’s goldendoodle and acquired Moxie as a companion dog. As her health declined, she began working with the American Service Dog Association to train Moxie as her service dog. Moxie now accompanies Katie to school every day and is close to completing her training.

About the American Service Dog Association
The ASDA trains and provides service dogs to qualifying individuals suffering from physical and mental disabilities, as well as autism and PTSD. They teach dogs to pull wheelchairs, push handicapped buttons, open and close doors, retrieve dropped objects—even deposit trash and fetch a ringing phone.

Dogs in the program live in the home of their trainer and can require up to two years of intensive training. Because of the high cost involved with their training, living expenses and vet care, there is a tremendous demand for service dogs—a demand Katie is determined to help meet.
