TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

I am so proud of our Northern Virginia Veterinary Medical Association/ DC Academy of Veterinary Medicine team and supporters. Together, we surpassed our original fundraising goal and are now making great progress toward our stretch goal!

Beyond the resources that these funds will provide, we are breaking down barriers, destigmatizing mental health conversation, and forming stronger ties within our profession. We are all in this together; let’s all keep talking with one another.

We began this campaign in earnest on September 1, to coincide with Su***de Prevention month. In that short time, I have been touched by the many people who have reached out to courageously and vulnerably share their personal stories. Thank you for trusting me- I will carry those conversations with me during the walk tomorrow. In addition, colleagues have reached out to express interest in helping their fellow colleagues- THANK YOU.

And there is still time to join us! Walkers, donors, and sharers of our campaign- we appreciate your support right up until the walk tomorrow. Please join us! Together, we can do amazing things.
