Taking part in the Vet Charity Challenge is an excellent way to encourage teamwork within a practice so says Anne Goad from Parkvets in Sidcup, Kent, in explaining why they have entered two teams.
“Teamwork at Parkvets is really important and events, such as the Vet Charity Challenge, really help to boost team spirit. We find that the build-up is just as important as the event, as working towards a specific goal outside of work helps with the work/life balance and provides a real sense of achievement on the day. Oh, and, of course, we are thrilled to be supporting the charities. Come on team Parkvets!” She said.
Teams are now registering for the Vet Charity Challenge 2013 that will take place on Saturday 28th September at Pershore College, Worcestershire. The event comprises teams of four taking part in walking, running, cycling and kayaking along with some orienteering and mental and physical tasks.
This event has been designed for every level of fitness and success on the day depends very much on how well each team member works together, rather than physical fitness.
Jason Rogers from BCF Technology and one of the VCC organisers commented, “Teams are registering every day and we are delighted with the response. But there are a few team spaces left, so I urge practices to register a team of four online now at www.vetcharitychallenge.co.uk
“The team rivalry between the three BCF teams that have entered has also already started.” He added.
The Vet Charity Challenge 2012 raised a total of £21,000, which was shared between three animal charities. The event in 2013 will raise funds for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, SPANA and Animals Asia.
The event is sponsored by BCF Technology, Kruuse, Vétoquinol and supported by VPMA, Mojo Consultancy and media partner Vet Practice magazine.1259 views
