300 people are diagnosed with macular disease every day. It’s the biggest cause of blindness in the UK and can affect anyone – even children.

The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world class research, and the best advice and support, funded by our wonderful members and donors. Only research will lead to a cure to Beat Macular Disease for the next generation. Advice & information 0300 3030 111, macularsociety.org

Join our 100% eco-friendly virtual balloon race this Easter and, together, let's Beat Macular Disease!

You'll be blown away by how simple it is to get involved:
1. Buy a balloon or gift one to a friend or relative (£3 each) - you'll be asked to create an account so they know who each balloon belongs to
2. Decorate your balloon and change its flight parameters
3. Sit back and watch your balloon as it races from Quito, Ecuador (race starts 12 noon, 9 April 2023)

Will your balloon fly the furthest?
