Vice President will sail into new role

Vice President of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, Tricia Colville, is set to sail into her new role by taking part in a 17m charity abseil down the ICC in Birmingham on Saturday 11 April to support the health of the nation’s pets – and you could join her.

This year BSAVA Congress, the largest veterinary event of its kind on the world, celebrates 25 years in Birmingham, so PetSavers – the charitable division of the BSAVA – is looking for 30 more courageous people to join Tricia in the celebrations. By taking part in a charity abseil the brave supporters will raise money to fund research into the conditions that affect our pets.

Tricia, who has previously been Chair of PetSavers and will begin her presidential year at Congress, said, “I’m delighted at the opportunity to support PetSavers in this way… even if it’s a bit scary!  It is fantastic that the great work that PetSavers undertakes and funds can be highlighted through this event.”

Pedro Martín Bartolomé, the current Chair of PetSavers, said “this is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the charity along with supporting PetSavers in its mission to relieve the distress and pain caused by diseases for which we currently have no effective treatments.  So sign up and get involved, if you dare!”

There is an entry fee of £20 and a minimum sponsorship of £100, there are a limited number of places available so make sure you don’t miss out.
