Welcome to St Ann's Hospice first ever virtual balloon race, starting at Manaus, Brazil in the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest. It's the perfect way to end the summer term on a high and help us celebrate our 50th birthday year.

As we celebrate our big birthday, we're asking supporters to help us fill the sky with virtual St Ann's balloons and raise money to help us continue caring for the next 50 years and beyond.

Buy your balloon for just £3, set it off flying in the virtual race and track it throughout the week.

The lucky balloon that travels the furthest will win £500, with the second place balloon winning an Apple iPad. Ten runners up will also win a £10 book token, and there will also be a prize specifically for the St Ann’s balloon which travels the furthest.

You can enter balloons into the race until 11.30am on Saturday 17th July. The balloons will be released on Saturday 17th July, and will travel virtually through the skies until the race ends at 12 noon on Saturday 24th July.

Please share and invite your family and friends to join our birthday celebrations and help us fill the sky with St Ann's balloons!

Our fundraising target is: £1000

Gross monies raised so far: £600

Supporters so far: 71
