Story

✈️ I’m Skydiving for Ability Dogs 4 Young People IOW! 🐶

Yes, you read that right—I’m jumping out of a plane to help change lives! On Wednesday 20th August 2025 I’ll be taking on a tandem skydive to raise money for an incredible local charity: Ability Dogs 4 Young People Isle of Wight.

This amazing organisation trains specially selected dogs to become life-changing assistance companions for young people living with physical disabilities, autism, or mental health challenges. These dogs don’t just offer practical help—they provide confidence, independence, and companionship that makes everyday life more manageable.

As a small Isle of Wight-based charity, they rely heavily on donations to fund the training, care, and placement of these incredible dogs. It costs thousands of pounds to train just one Ability Dog—and every penny makes a real difference.

💙 Whether it’s £2 or £20, your support will help give a young person on the Island a four-legged partner who can truly transform their life.

So please, if you can, sponsor my (slightly terrifying!) leap of faith—and help me support a cause that’s very close to home.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Let’s do this—for the dogs, and for the young people who need them. 🐾💫

Thank you,

Fiona
