I'm working with the Future Sense Foundation to raise money for deprived communities in Cambodia. The money raised will go towards improving and educating on menstruation for school girls, enhancing education opportunities and increasing general hygiene in the community. I will be heading over there myself in June 2020 to teach English and STEM.

The balloons will be ‘launched’ on Christmas Day from Lapland. They are then subjected to a simulated flight pattern based on the actual weather conditions such as the prevailing wind speed and current temperature. This simulation uses an advanced computer modelling programme linked to Google maps and a commercial weather data supplier. Anyone can follow the leading 100 balloons online through the 7 days of the race.

The winning balloon (£500 prize) is the one that has flown the furthest in a straight line from the launch location. Interestingly, a popped / burst balloon can still win if the wind direction changes and sends the still-flying balloons backwards in a reverse direction.

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £81

Supporters so far: 16
