KIT TARKA FOUNDATION

This cause was part of Christmas Day Race
This unique race URL is https://ecoracing.co/cause/kit-tarka-foundation-2004/

Every week in the UK 39 babies who were born alive, die before they are 1 month old.

Kit Tarka Foundation works to prevent newborn baby deaths; primarily through raising awareness of neonatal herpes, funding research and providing advice for healthcare professionals and the general public.

We are taking part in the Christmas Day Virtual Balloon Race! The race is a computer simulation race where everything is real except the balloon. It’s 100% eco-friendly with no risk of harm to wildlife.

HOW IT WORKS
*Just sign up and pay for your balloon, £3 each (you can buy as many as you like)
*You can then name, personalise, and decorate your balloon via your dashboard by choosing the shape, colour, and pattern, plus the helium content and rubber thickness.
*Take part from anywhere in the world on the comfort of your sofa :-)
*Christmas Day- Balloons 'released' virtually at 12pm (noon)
*Race runs for 7 days
*New years day- race finishes at 12pm (noon)
*Winners will then be contacted directly and announced on social media platforms within 5 working days.
