Almost 600 runners and walkers participated in the Relief Rover virtual “Clinic to 5K” running event last month. The donation to Not One More Vet was generated from registration fees, sponsors and optional donations made by participants. Veterinarians, nurses, customer service reps and executives, as well as pet parents got involved to support the mental health of the veterinary teams who care for their animals.
NOMV’s mission is to transform the status of mental wellness within the profession so veterinary professionals can survive and thrive through education, resources, and support.

The enthusiastic response to this first annual event has been so heartening and is just the kind of positive energy the profession needs. We were delighted to see whole hospitals and corporate groups signing up their teams and running or walking the event together for some great bonding and healthy stress release.” – Cindy Trice, DVM
