Easter Virtual Balloon Race
Take part in some Easter fun and help raise funds for NCW!
Launching on the 20th April and travelling for 7 days your eco-friendly balloon will battle against real-life weather conditions. You will be able to follow your balloon’s progress on Google Maps and see how far it goes!
Balloons will be £3 to purchase and once you have purchased your balloon, you can name it, decorate it and determine how much helium and the rubber thickness to what you think will win the race!
Instead of buying an Easter Egg for friends, why not gift a ‘balloon’?
The race will feature balloons from a number of charities and you could win:
1: £100 cash
2: Amazon Alexa / Echo Dot 4th Generation!
There will also be a special prize for the NCW balloon that travels the furthest.
Good luck, we hope you have fun watching your balloons adventures!
