A RINGWOOD woman has committed to walk 150km and skydive to raise money for an autism dog charity. 

Elisa Bygrave-Singh, 44, will walk 150km and jump from a plane to raise money for Dogs For Autism, a charity that helps train companions for those with who need them. 

Having already walked 150k this year for the charity in the Easter 50k and London 2 Brighton 100k ultra marathons, Elisa wants to compound this by doubling her numbers and doing a skydive this September. 

Elisa said: "It all goes back to last year as I'm part of a group called Run the Ring which is where a bunch of VW nutters fundraiser for a chosen charity and last year it was Dogs For Autism.

"At the after party last year I happened to mention that I never wanted to do another ultra challenge again and I said a skydive would be less painful and that's how it all started."

Elisa will jump from Hinton Airfield, near Brackley, on September 29, after walking the Thames Path on September 15. 

She will then do the Kent 50km walk afterwards to round it all off. 

She said: "My son's autistic and beyond the line for having a dog but it makes you realise how much work goes into training one of those dogs.

"The fact they do it and then give this dog away for free, its very humbling in a way. 

"They always know when something is wrong is wrong or your feeling down and they're there in any situation and love you no matter what."

Elisa has two dogs, Rami and Billy, who have helped her son with his autism.

She said she has continued to support the charity after seeing the amazing work and how 'crucial' it is to those who are autistic. 

She said: "They have to go through a really rigorous application process which takes months to do and then get all bunch of agencies involved and it makes you sit there and think, bloody hell, these guys are mostly volunteers and they're doing it to make someone else's life easier."
