Animals in Distress is an independent local charity in South Devon providing love, care and support to Animals who have been rescued. We are proud to have been part of the South Devon community for nearly 40 years. With dedication and compassion, when pets lose their homes we are there to pick up the pieces and give them the life they deserve.

We rely solely on the income from our shops, rescue centre and generous supporters to enable us to feed and care for hundreds of unwanted and homeless animals every year.

That is why we are launching our first ever virtual balloon race to keep you entertained and to ensure that we can continue to look after the animals that so desperately need our help.

Join our virtual balloon race on Friday 3rd July 2020 and compete against your family and friends to see whose balloon goes the furthest!

Tickets are available until Friday 3rd July 2020 (up to 30 minutes before race launch) as the balloon race sets off. You can follow your balloon for 7 days on it's journey using the Google Maps and each balloon is subject to a simulated flight pattern based on the actual weather conditions such as the wind speed and current temperature.

Balloons are £3 each, you can buy as many balloons as you like and you can personalise your balloon by decorating it and adding a name, this could be you, a loved one or even your pet!

Prizes for the Race (across multiple charities)
£500 Cash
Apple iPad
10 lucky winners of £10 Book Tokens

Plus if lots of balloons for Animals in Distress are sold, there will be additional prizes up for grabs!

Sales in excess of 500 balloons - £50 for furthest balloon flight
Sales in excess of 1000 balloons - £100 for furthest balloon flight
Sales in excess of 10,000 balloons - £1000 for furthest balloon flight
