Bracknell Vet Team Take Part in Charity Walk in Memory of Former Patient

11 February 2020

A Bracknell veterinary team has taken part in a charity walk to help raise valuable funds for the Animal Health Trust in memory of one of its former patients.

Much-loved Chocolate Labrador Ella passed away in the Autumn after a two-year battle with cancer. To commemorate her, heartbroken owner Sandra Moore decided to organise a charity walk and invite the local animal-loving community to join her on one of Ella’s favourite routes in Virginia Water.

Sandra wanted something good to come out of her loss and do her bit to help find a cure for canine cancer. She set up a Just Giving Page and has now beaten her four-figure target.

Medivet Bracknell Harmans Water Branch Partner and Veterinary Surgeon Chris Felstead said: “Everyone here at the practice remembers Ella very fondly and wanted to show their support for Sandra. We were delighted to see that the fund-raising target of £2,000 was comfortably beaten and have since decided to name one of the kennels in the practice after Ella in her memory.”

Local pet photography specialists Kerto Studio also supported the fund-raising initiative by taking pictures of dogs on the walk and donating all proceeds to Sandra’s Just Giving page.
