Join the Friends of the Animals Virtual Balloon Race!

Race, cheer, and make a difference — one balloon at a time!

For just £3 per balloon, you can enter the race AND support life-saving work for animals across the Isle of Wight and the UK. Why not buy a family of balloons, including one for your pets, friends, or loved ones? The more balloons, the more fun — and the more lives you help save!

Buy your balloon before April 5th - race starts on that date and the balloons fly for 7 days!
Track your balloon live as it races through the skies..


- Fun Prizes to Win!

We love celebrating our supporters — here’s how YOU can win while helping animals:

Every balloon counts — all balloons supporting our charity will win internal 1st–3rd place prizes

Most balloons purchased — the top balloon buyer takes a special prize!
