Fundraising for WECare Worldwide
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for WECare Worldwide, a charity tackling an incredibly large and important job in south Sri Lanka. They aim to better the lives of animals, reduce the incidence of rabies and change attitudes towards animal welfare through three main strategies:
1. Free veterinary care for sick and injured animals: dog fight and road traffic accident injuries are overwhelmingly common, as is extensive and debilitating skin disease.
2. Catch, neuter, vaccinate, release drives: firstly to reduce the roaming dog population and numbers of animals dumped at a very young age. Secondly CNVR forms the back bone of striving to eradicate rabies from the island.
3. Education: Education of the community, local vets and vet techs is key to making a sustainable improvement in animal health and welfare in the area.

I am a small animal vet from the North West of England, and qualified 14 years ago. I am heading to Sri Lanka next month for 2.5 months to help them to continue their amazing work there. To ensure I'm in tip top condition to be able to do as much as possible whilst out there, I am currently doing a 10 week bootcamp, getting up at 5.40am to go to training sessions before work, and eating more spinach than I thought possible!! 4 week in I'd lost 6lb and over 13 inches so looking forward to the final results!!
