ERIC World Record attempt – STOP the Issue Ballooning!

Video ericukLeave a comment

Remember our World Record attempt last month? Well here is the video – I think it’s pretty funny, let me know what you think! And remember, if you fancy doing something fun or wacky to help raise awareness and funds for ERIC – just get in touch!

It really was a brilliant day and although we didn’t break the record, we had a hilarious time trying!

in June 2012, ERIC supporters Mark and Mark challenged the Guinness World Record for the fastest time for a team of two to pop 100 balloons. The challenge was t raise awareness and funds for ERIC’s STOP the Issue Ballooning campaign which encourages families to get help for childhood continence problems, sooner rather than later. The world’s largest E-balloon race was also launched to raise money for ERIC.

Don’t wait until tomorrow,

We can help if you call now,

With ideas and resources

And professional know-how.

Call us on the helpline

Or peruse our on-line shop.

We can help to make things better…

We can help to make it STOP!

This lovely poem was written by Ann, our Customer Service Coordinator to celebrate our STOP the Issue Ballooning Campaign!

STOP the Issue Ballooning

We have launched a new campaign! We’re so excited! We recently did an online survey on our website and we learned that a shocking 60% of families wait over a year before seeking help for childhood continence problems like bedwetting, daytime wetting, constipation, and soiling. Of this; 18% waited over a year, 11% between one and two years, and 27% over two years! It’s a shame because there’s so much information out there and so much that can be done to help.

That’s why we’ve decided to launch the new campaign. We call it, “STOP the Issue Ballooning!” We know there is no need for children and young people to suffer unnecessarily and in the majority of cases, a solution can be found. The campaign will encourage families to get support early on, rather than waiting.

Throughout June we’ll be running online Balloon Races! We want YOU to join the world’s biggest e-balloon race to raise funds and awareness for ERIC!  For just £2, you get your own balloon, select it’s colour, even name it, before letting it loose on the electronic wind. Winners entered in to a prize draw to win a hot air balloon ride in Bristol, and even if you haven’t won, you get to help us ‘STOP the Issue Ballooning’. All funds raised will support the work of ERIC.

It’s going to be a great year!
