Jacob Bradley

Jacob has raised over £1000 for DfA, skydiving in a sponsored jump!

Our youngest fundraiser at only 16, his incredible bravery means is now our most recent 100 Hero when he skydived from 15,000 feet over the Salisbury Plains in October 2022.

Helped by donations made at his local pub in Dorset, The Barking Cat, Jacob and his family managed to raise over £1000 in the space of a few months.

Congratulations Jacob!

Mike Warne

‘100 Hero’ Mike Warne raised a staggering £1500 for Dogs for Autism by competing in the IronMan Cork challenge earlier this Summer. Competing was a gruelling challenge, that saw him pass the finish line in a howling late summer Atlantic storm. What an incredible achievement!

Mike has officially joined the 100 Heroes Hall of Fame and has received his certificate and medal. Congratulations Mike!

Michael Homer

‘100 Hero’ Michael has raised £1,543 for DfA by competing in charity fishing matches and raffles, encouraged by his keen angler and fishing partner, his eldest son.

Michael and his family are currently training their own autism assistance dog for their son. We are incredibly impressed that Michael has managed to raise so much for us, in between juggling a busy working and home life and training an assistance puppy.

Thank you to Michael and all his fishing pals for the commitment!

In Loving Memory
