Vets team flying high to help dogs
Fearless members of the team decided it would be a great idea to take part in a sponsored skydive.
On 28th July Emilie Packham, an Animal Nursing Assistant and Caitlin Cartmel, a trainee Veterinary Nurse, were the first to jump.

“We didn’t have much time to think about jumping out of the plane, as we got shimmied to the front and within a second we were falling.
“It was the most surreal experience I have ever done, and so very worth it with all the money we have raised.”
Alina Vaslie Veterinary Surgeon and Kirsteen Leake, Veterinary Surgeon, will be jumping on 22nd September.

Alina added: “I’m excited as I have always wanted to skydive and doing it this way means I can also support a very worthy charity.”
So far the team has raised £854.41 through all donations made by clients of the practice, friends and family, all of which they really appreciate.
The Dogs Trust rehabilitates and finds new homes for dogs which have been abandoned or given up by their owners. www.dogstrust.org.uk
