Your own eco balloon has been set off from the ‘virtual’ Eiffel Tower in Paris, on Valentine’s Day and now the race will last 7 days…

What you could win?

Your balloon will race against balloons from multiple charities to travel the furthest in 7 days and you could be the lucky winner of one of the following prizes:

1st Prize – £500
2nd Prize – Apple iPad
3rd Prize – 10 x £10 Book Vouchers

The following 3 prizes will be for the winners of those competing for Wirral Hospice only;

4th Prize – £50 Amazon Voucher
5th Prize – Luxury Booze Hamper
6th Prize – £20 Supermarket Voucher

The virtual balloon race?

The virtual balloons are affected by the actual weather conditions over the 7 days. Once your virtual balloon has been “launched” from the Eiffel Tower, you can follow its progress on Google Maps.

For every 33 balloons, that we sell will help us fund a day’s wages for one of our Specialist Nurses.
