Four Hearts, One Mission: Taking the Leap for St Francis Dogs Home
Four brave supporters are taking on the ultimate challenge — a 15,000-ft parachute jump — to raise vital funds for St Francis Dogs Home, a self-funded charity dedicated to giving vulnerable dogs the care, compassion, and second chances they deserve.
Every day, dogs arrive at St Francis needing comfort, medical care, patience, and a safe place to begin again. As a charity that relies entirely on donations, every pound raised helps provide warm beds, veterinary treatment, rehabilitation, and hope for dogs waiting for their forever homes.
This jump is more than a challenge; it is a chance to turn courage into compassion and adrenaline into real impact. Meet the four people taking the leap and discover why they are supporting this incredible cause.

Nic – Turning Adrenaline Into Impact
Working at St Francis Dogs Home means Nic sees first-hand the challenges many dogs face when they arrive confused, overlooked, or carrying the weight of experiences they never should have endured. Taking part in this jump is a way to do something bold and meaningful for a charity that depends on the generosity of its supporters.
Nic believes rescue work is about more than helping dogs — it strengthens the whole community by supporting families, educating owners, and promoting responsible pet care.
It’s a chance to turn adrenaline into impact and help rewrite the stories of the dogs who depend on us.
Aaron – Taking The Plunge For Dogs In Need
Aaron is taking on this incredible challenge because he has seen how much St Francis Dogs Home achieves with the support of its community. Despite being completely powered by donations, the charity continues to go above and beyond for every dog that comes through its doors.
By facing the fear of jumping from 15,000 ft, Aaron hopes to inspire others to support a cause that brings warmth, safety, healing, and hope to dogs with nowhere else to turn.
Your support helps turn fear into comfort and loneliness into love for the dogs who need us most.

Kimberley – A Passion For Rescue, A Purposeful Leap
With a background in animal rescue, Kimberley understands just how important fundraising is for self-funded charities like St Francis Dogs Home. She knows that every donation, no matter the size, plays a vital role in helping rescue organisations continue their life-changing work.
This jump is her way of celebrating the dedication and compassion shown by St Francis while helping raise awareness and much-needed funds.
Even little donations make such a huge difference, and every single one helps them keep going.
Sophie – Jumping For The Dogs Who Deserve A Second Chance
Sophie is taking on this challenge to support and raise awareness for the incredible dogs cared for by St Francis Dogs Home. For her, a 15,000-ft parachute jump is a small act of bravery compared to the courage shown by the dogs who overcome difficult beginnings.
Every donation helps St Francis continue providing vet care, warm beds, and opportunities for dogs to find loving forever homes.
I’m jumping out of a plane from 15,000 ft — because they’re worth every leap of courage.

Together, Nic, Aaron, Kimberley, and Sophie are taking a leap of faith to help dogs take their next step towards a brighter future.
Your support will help St Francis Dogs Home continue its vital work and ensure more dogs receive the care, love, and second chance they deserve.
Please donate today and help us change lives — one dog at a time.
