Veterinary professionals spend their working lives caring for animals and the people who love them. They also face some of the highest rates of burnout, stress and suicide of any profession, and they often carry it quietly.

Recently, our practice owner, Sinéad, has had a friend and fellow practice owner die by suicide, so this one is for Kerry.

This isn't only a vet problem, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem each year, and too many people still wait too long, or never ask for help at all.

Mind provides advice, support and a voice for anyone facing a mental health challenge.

So Sinéad, Hannah, Holly, Harrison, Debbie and Debbie's husband Alan are doing tough mudder for mind. Sinéad at least is wholly unprepared for this! Please donate what you can and if you can't donate please just share, as every donation matters. Thank you.
