Vets Climbing High for Dogs Trust
Two veterinary workers have set themselves the ultimate fundraising challenge for the national canine charity Dogs Trust: climbing the three highest mountains in the UK in just 24 hours.

Kelly Smith and James Hewitt will climb Ben Nevis (1344m) in Scotland, Scafell Pike (978m) in England and Snowdon (1085m) in Wales in a 24 hour challenge taking place over 13th and 14th May.

Vet Nurse Kelly Smith explains: “I’ve never done anything like this before so I’ve been preparing for the last three months by doing circuit training, jogging, cycling and of course dog walking! It will be a huge personal achievement if I successfully complete the challenge, as well as an exciting way to raise vital money for Dogs Trust.”

Kelly and James will be joined by nine other Dogs Trust veterinary staff from across the country, including Veterinary Director Chris Laurence. Between them they aim to raise £2000 for the charity. To sponsor the team please click here.
