We are KEMP, the Wyre Forest Hospice, and we provide care and support to local patients, families, and carers experiencing life-limiting illness and bereavement.

Our services are free to everyone in the Wyre Forest, so with every balloon you purchase, you will make a big difference to the lives of the 1000+ local families we support each year when they need our help the most.

• £16.43 will provide a patient with their lunch
• £51.40 will provide a child bereavement 1-2-1 counselling session
• £150.64 will provide a hospice nurse for a day

Virtual balloons can be purchased for £3 each from now until the start date by clicking on the blue 'Buy Balloons' ribbon below - you can even gift balloons to your friends and family!

Buy a Balloon and be in with the chance to win these Fabulous Prizes!

• First prize, for the balloon that travels the farthest, is £500 cash.
• Second prize is an Apple iPad.
• There will also be 10 lucky winners of £10 book tokens.

Our race starts at noon on Easter Sunday 4th April from Istanbul, Turkey and runs for 7 days. The virtual balloon that travels the furthest wins!

When designing your virtual balloon take extra care to choose the right materials and configuration as this will help or hinder your chances of winning the race - and there is also a small matter of real-time weather to be taken into consideration.

Don’t forget to track your Virtual balloons' progress by logging into your 'Dashboard'.

Please join us in some Easter fun, invite your friends, family, and colleagues and do your bit to support local hospice care.

Good luck and may the best balloon win!
