About this race:
Teenage years can be difficult for young people. For a young person with Spina Bifida or Hydrocephalus, it can be even more so.They have the same challenges faced by their peers, these challenges are often compounded by their disabilities. Living with a disability can bring increased isolation, poor health, reduced mobility, physical and learning barriers, and discrimination.
From our work with young people, we know how important it is to give them access to the tools, resources, and support networks they want (and need) to develop confidence in taking the steps to realise their ambitions for the future.
The balloon race launches virtually on 7th of April from the HQ of WHO, The world health Organization, (they were formed on this day 1948) by taking part you are helping to ensure we can continue to be there for our young members.
Thank you for taking part in our virtual balloon race.
