Seems to me that the continued sponsorship is probably a contractual obligation. The fact is that this record attempt is already practically redundant.
The 14 year old in the Netherlands has nearly a three year headstart on Ms Watson (now heading for 17 years old) and she will get away soon enough. If they both finish the difference between their trip ends will be Ms Watson's record period, then it's gone for her.
It will be quite disheartening for Ms Watson to know that the end of her record is already sailing behind her.
