Charity Challenge
A group of 11 of our team completed The Chiltern 50km Ultra Marathon.
They completed this massive challenge in 12hrs 28mins and have so far raised over £2500 in aid of Vetlife
VetLife is an important charity to us all at Cromwell’s. With our team previously completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks and 9 Edge challenge over the last few years.
The charity provides support to our veterinary community in times of severe emotional or health concerns.
The veterinary community continues to experience significantly higher levels of depression and su***de then the general public. Veterinarians are 4 times more likely to die from su***de than the general public, and nearly 70% of veterinarians have lost a colleague to su***de. A study on veterinary nurses found that nearly 75% of respondents had personally experienced a mental health concern and only half had received professional support for this.
Recently this has heightened with the continual negative press coverage the industry receives. As a result there are higher levels of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts within our community.
By promoting Vetlife, we promote to friends, families, colleagues and clients, that we are more predisposed to ill mental health due to the critical paradox, emotional and physical distress, complaints, long hours...and the list goes on!
We also remind peers that it is okay to not be okay and seek help.
