In April 2023, I will be running the London Marathon in support of the Animal Care Trust.

The Animal Care Trust exists to support the Royal Veterinary College's wide range of clinical, research and educational activities aimed at improving animal health and care. 

As a student at the RVC, I can see the fantastic impact the ACT has on research, advancing veterinary medicine and saving animals' lives. They invest in groundbreaking research that makes a real difference in the lives of animals across the world and, undertaking a research degree myself, I know how advantageous that will be to animal welfare and well-being globally.

Just one example of their success:

"When Alba arrived with painful lesions over her body, we feared the worst. Alba had a mysterious and deadly illness that had been killing dogs around the country. No known cure existed. Our world-leading team of specialists combined their knowledge to develop a revolutionary solution that had not been tried anywhere else.

Alba’s blood plasma was removed and replaced with healthy canine plasma – donated by our wonderful canine blood donors and processed by our dedicated Blood Donor and Transfusion team. This pioneering new treatment used equipment available exclusively at the QMHA, thanks to the funds donated by our supporters.

Thanks to people like you, Alba became the first dog in the UK to survive New Forest Syndrome and this new treatment has gone on to save other dogs’ lives too." - What We Do, Animal Care Trust, RVC. 

Any donations, no matter how big or small, will help to support over 20,000 poorly pets a year, giving the patients access to innovative treatments and the best facilities to keep them comfortable whilst in the RVC's care.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and for any support you are able to give, it means the world! xx
