Wind Speed experience by lead Balloon

About this race:
Shine (formerly ASBAH) was formed 50 years ago to offer support and advice to those living with spina bifida (split spine) and/or hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain). We currently support around 12,000 members, each affected in different ways due to their condition. The degrees of disability vary greatly and we have trained staff on hand around the clock to offer professional advice gained through many years of training and experience. Some members with spina bifida need more support than others, often due to the level of disability caused by where the lesion appears on the spinal cord - the higher the lesion, the greater the level of disability is likely to be.
The balloons will be launched from Paris, where the French Open tennis is taking place at the Stade Roland Garros.
