Story

🎉 VidiVet is turning 5… and Ben’s celebrating by running 50km for Vetlife 🎉

On 9th November, our founder Ben is lacing up his trainers and taking on the Castellaneta Underground Trail in Puglia 🏃‍♂️⛰️– that’s 50km of hills, sweat, and probably a few tears – all to raise money for Vetlife, the incredible charity that supports everyone in the veterinary community when they need it most 💚

Why 50km? Because it’s VidiVet’s 5th birthday, and what better way to mark 5 years than with a slightly ridiculous challenge:

👉 £1000 for every 10km

👉 £1000 for every year of VidiVet

👉 £5000 total target for Vetlife

We’ve spent 5 years helping pet owners get fast, friendly vet advice at the tap of a button – now we’d love your help to give back to the wider vet world. Vetlife is there 24/7 for anyone in the veterinary profession who’s struggling, and your donation (big or small!) makes a real difference.

So whether you’re a pet parent, a fellow vet, or just someone who thinks running 50km sounds like a terrible birthday idea, please support Ben and help us smash that £5000 target.

Donate today, cheer Ben on, and let’s make VidiVet’s 5th birthday one to remember!
