NOMV Raises Awareness and Funds During Annual Event 

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA — Not One More Vet (NOMV), a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the status of mental health within the veterinary community, concluded its  annual Race Around the World event on May 31. Participants, including veterinary professionals, pet parents, and supporters, joined forces to raise awareness and funds to address wellbeing in veterinary medicine.

The signature event kicked off virtually on May 1st in support of the United States Mental Health Awareness Month. Over the next 31 days, a total of 1,947 participants from 30 countries came together by logging activities and gathering donations on the event platform, Pledge It. The final tally was 226,589.50 miles, which equates to almost 10 laps around the world! 

“Our team had so much fun last month participating in Race Around the World! We shared photos of our activity and progress with each other throughout the month, and it even inspired the team to continue sharing these updates internally moving forward as motivation! Happy that Roo was part of it this year and could contribute to NOMV’s amazing cause. We can’t wait ’til next year!” ~Misha

This year’s race encouraged daily well-being activities and information by sharing events and tips. Check out our YouTube Page for more information. 

Thanks to the support of our participants and sponsors, we raised nearly $94,000, which will directly contribute to furthering the NOMV mission. This event would not be possible without the support of Dechra, Roo, Chewy Health, Instinct, and the many other sponsors who supported this event.  

The NOMV team would like to express our gratitude for the continued support of our Race Around the World. Together, we are making great strides towards sustainable wellbeing within the veterinary community.
