June’s Charity Skydive in Support of DFA 

We are so grateful to June, who has recently completed her third major fundraising challenge by taking on a charity skydive in support of Dogs for Autism and Dementia-Friendly Alton.  

June, now 92, has previously taken part in a microlight flight over Anglesey to celebrate her 90th birthday and an abseil down the Spinnaker Tower, both supporting local causes. 

June’s most recent fundraiser was a Skydive from 10,000 feet, which is 30 seconds of freefall at 25 mph. Through this, she has already raised more than £1,500, which will be shared between Dogs for Autism and Dementia-Friendly Alton. June’s fundraising page is still live until Friday 31st July 2026, so if you wish to show your support for June’s bravery, you are able to do so here.  

“Both charities do outstanding work, providing invaluable support to individuals and families in our community, and I would love to raise even more to help them continue making a difference.”- June 

We are delighted to have been selected as one of June’s chosen charities for her skydive and our honoured to be a charity that June considers close to her heart. 

On behalf of everyone at Dogs for Autism and the families whose lives are changed by our dogs, we would like to say a massive thank you to June for her courage and kindness. 

As a charity, we rely on the support of individuals like June, businesses and community partners. Their generosity helps us provide life-changing autism assistance dogs to autistic individuals across the UK, free of charge. 

If you have been inspired by June’s story and want to start fundraising yourself, please check out our 100 Heroes page; every pound raised helps us change lives.
