Story
wwskydiveukltd.com
At this dog rescue we take as many of the dogs with behavioural issues, often rejected elsewhere as we can. We also if space allows, take in dogs of breeds that are not always welcome. We will take any dog of any breed if we can help and have space. We work with the dogs via training and behavioural correction until we can hopefully provide them with a new life and family.
Some dogs that come to us are better suited to life at the sanctuary than out in the world and they stay with us for life, or until the right situation presents itself. We are asking for your help to raise money to keep this tiny rescue going. Funds are always needed for veterinary care, food and general day to day costs. Every penny you donate goes towards the dogs' welfare.
So, each year I risk life and limb - and my sanity as I remain entirely terrified of heights, to execute a challenge that horrifies me. This year, my 60th! it is a tandem parachute jump on August 18th at Dunkerswell. Check out Skydive Buzz.
Usual rules apply, the target is £5000, last year you smashed a smaller target and donated £4800, a fabulous amount. If the target is not reached, I am safe on the ground but if you do it..........then I will once more risk all for the mutts.
Please help us to help them, no donation is too small. Thank you.

1 year agoWell, I am yet again contemplating dicing with death! The long awaited parachute jump that should have taken space last year is set for April 10th. I am employing my usual tactic of pretending it is not happening! So far, we are need £1460 to meet ur challenge of £5000 towards the upkeep of the dogs in our care. I will if you will!

1 year agoFor any doubters who thought I might run out of courage - the date for the jump is set! Monday April 10th - as ever weather permitting. Some of you will know that the jump was planned for last Autumn, but we ran out of weather. The total is better than it looks, we have £3240 raised in various ways so just the last push for the target now. Please help us, we have more mouths than ever and I am hoping to scare myself witless!!
