Virtual balloon race

On Saturday 14 November, we will be launching our first ever Lymphoma Action virtual balloon race! Our virtual balloons will set off across the Great Rift Valley, with each following a simulated flight pattern based on live weather conditions in Kenya. There is even a special prize in store for the balloon that travels the furthest in seven days!

Taking part is easy – simply purchase a balloon for £3. You can buy as many as you like, and you can even customise and decorate your virtual balloons! Our aim is for 1,622 balloons to set out on the race – one for every person in the UK who will receive a diagnosis of lymphoma in November.

“Our virtual balloon race is a really fun and interactive way to raise funds to support our work, as well as being environmentally friendly!” says Sarah Thorn, Community and Partnerships Manager at Lymphoma Action. “By purchasing a balloon, you will be helping us continue our work in providing vital support and information services for people affected by lymphoma. So don’t delay – buy your balloon today!”
