This is definately going to be my craziest challenge to date. I will be suspended for a week by 8ft
diameter helium weather balloons in West Orchards Shopping Centre, Coventry City Centre from Saturday 3rd March until Saturday
10th March 2012. I have calculated i will need approx 25 balloons for safety which is the equivalent of 30,000 toy balloons! Thats a van load of helium which will also need topping up every day! This will be weighted down to the ground and
i will float up to about 30 feet in the air and remain there for 12 hours every day in a harness. People will also be able
to play a part in writing messages and drawing on a giant 30 ft long banner which will be displayed on the final day of the
challenge hanging down from Stuart to the ground.You will be able to thank Macmillan Cancer Support if they have helped your
relatives or friends, write messages to Stuart, or simply draw pictures and see if we can fill the banner by the end of the
week which will be on display afterwards.
I have been told of a few problems i may encounter which i
am working on right now. I may need the loo so i am designing a pulley sytem so i can quickly come down and go to the loo,
also i have been told that i may lose circulation to my legs being in a harness for 12 hours.This can result in the blood
going cold in the legs and when circulation gets going again the cold blood can stop my heart, i am working on a way round
this with a new type of harness. The people of Coventry always amaze me with their generosity and that's why i will
be back in Coventry and look forward to seeing you all again. Please sponsor me using the link above.
