Why run for Worldwide Veterinary Service?
Right now, thousands of animals are suffering silently with no chance of ever receiving veterinary care. The global pandemic has only worsened the situation in many parts of the world, forcing countless animals to go without basic needs, including food, water or a place to call home. Like you, we don't think this is fair.
Worldwide Veterinary Service provides free expert care to animals in need all over the world. We do this by sending vets where they are needed most, training them to increase the standard of care globally, and by shipping urgent aid supplies worldwide, every week of the year.
By taking part in the event for Worldwide Veterinary Service and fundraising on our behalf, you’ll help ensure animals living in some of the world's poorest and most isolated areas receive the veterinary care they deserve.
