Brighton Vets Walk for Worthy Cause

In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the dedicated team at Coastway Vets in Brighton embarked on a remarkable 27-mile trek, raising an impressive £2,200 for Canine Partners. This charity provides life-changing assistance dogs for individuals with disabilities. The event, dubbed Coastway’s Big Walk 2025, saw 33 enthusiastic vets, nurses, animal care assistants, and receptionists lace up their walking boots for a cause close to their hearts.

The journey began bright and early at 7:30 am in Lewes, winding its way through Woodingdean and Telscombe, with a pit stop at Coastway’s 24-hour Brighton veterinary hospital in Kemptown for a well-deserved lunch. Energised and ready to tackle the next leg, the team continued towards Portslade, finally reaching the Shoreham finish line at 5:20 pm, greeted by cheering supporters.

Jay Lisher, a veterinary nurse at Coastway Vets and organiser of the walk, expressed immense gratitude for the overwhelming support received. “We are blown away with how generous everyone has been,” Jay shared. The walk not only exceeded their fundraising target but also brought the team closer together, with highlights including the stunning views along the cliff walk from Telescombe to Brighton and the camaraderie displayed during challenging moments.

The funds raised will aid Canine Partners in training assistance dogs, transforming lives like that of Elaine Moore, a Coastway Vets client, who attended the finish line with her assistance dog, Bentley. “Bentley helps me live independently,” Elaine said, underscoring the profound impact of the charity.

Coastway Vets’ commitment to the community doesn’t stop here, with a full calendar of charitable events planned for 2025. If you’re inspired by their efforts, donations can still be made via their fundraising page. At Sawyer & Co, we love seeing the local community come together for such meaningful causes.
