Search Begins for Spherical Egg in Global Cup Competition
Simon Balch, a 49-year-old innovator from Camden, is on a unique quest. His goal is to find a spherical egg that will fit into his specially designed spherical egg cup. Inspired by a remarkable story, Balch hopes to display this unusual pairing at an upcoming event.
Inspiration Behind the Quest
Balch’s journey began after learning about Jo Willis and her extraordinary egg discovery, which she described as “one in a billion.” This event occurred in May, when Mrs. Willis decided to donate her rare egg to assist in fundraising efforts for Cancer Research UK.
A Unique Egg and Cup Collaboration
- Jo Willis discovered a spherical egg in May.
- She donated it for an auction alongside Balch’s egg cup.
- The egg was unfortunately damaged after being accidentally hard-boiled.
Despite this setback, Balch is determined to find a suitable spherical egg. He plans to showcase his egg and cup at an egg festival in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
Future Plans
Balch’s mission reflects both creativity and a desire to contribute to a charitable cause. His efforts highlight the importance of innovation and community engagement.
