Vets run 10 marathons in 10 days to raise £10,000

Carolyne, who runs her own business as a performance coach and mentor for vets, said:

‘I will be 40 in 2017 and I wanted a big challenge and this seemed as good as any! I also believe in creating stories to tell my grandchildren and I’m sure a few good ones will come from this adventure.

‘Brooke seemed like an obvious fit in that I have always owned horses myself and have worked in equine practice. I like the ethos behind Brooke in that by helping horses, mules and donkeys in developing countries, you are also helping to support the communities that depend on them for their livelihoods.’

Ten2London is already gathering steam, and Carolyne and Brian have secured sponsorship from PetPlan, Denplan, VetShare, BCF Technology, Independent Vetcare, Vet Dynamics, Eight Legal and Keystone. It means all their costs are covered, and the rest of their sponsorship can go to the cause.

Most people think we are mad; some say we’re ‘brave’ and the odd few say they have been inspired! Just to complete this challenge will be an achievement, but to do it and raise £10K for Brooke will be amazing!’
