A statement on Baluchi’s Web site said the Iranian exile had planned to make the 1,660km trip in his self-designed bubble to raise money “for children in need” and “to ... inspire those that have lost hope for a better future.” Baluchi has made headlines before, including  a six-month journey in which he ran around the perimeter of the US and a seven-year bike trip that he said brought him across 55 countries on six continents.
