Since then, Geoffrey continues raising money for @GOSHCharity with @Giraffesontour
He's:
🦒Rowed the Atlantic with the @FlyersAtlantic in the #taliskerwhisky Atlantic challenge
💜Travelled by dog-sled to the North Pole
🦒Flown over Buckingham Palace during the #PlatinumJubilee
ALT Queen Elizabeth is smiling and holding a copy of the charity book, Never Alone, which she has taken out of her handbag.
ALT 4 images. One showing an inverse '70' shadow on some green fields. It becomes apparent from the other three pictures of a fluffy toy giraffe in the cockpit of a flying plane, with other aircraft visible outside flying nearby that this Giraffe is in the jubilee flypast.

Inspired by the resilience of desperately ill children, 4 RAF pilots swapped their normal cockpits for one in a transatlantic rowing boat. Listen to this podcast apple.co/3AArJyD with the @FlyersAtlantic ahead of #CASLC22

Emma’s route into ocean rowing, a thread… 🧵
In summer 2020, Emma learned that a @RoyalAirForce 🛩 friend had entered the 2021 #TWAC.
Inspired by the @FlyersAtlantic, Emma started researching ocean rowing - including reading this (excellent) book by @Kikomatthews

Our last @FlyersAtlantic to introduce, but certainly not the least, is Flight Lieutenant Chris Carrington-Smith🚣♂️
As an RAF battlefield helicopter pilot and a regular competitor in endurance challenges, Chris is used to working in arduous conditions against unfavourable odds.

Starlight was there to support the family through Isla's treatment, culminating in a trip to Lapland where she met Santa 🎅
Today, Isla is a thriving 8-year-old and officially cancer-free and Phil is embarking on his hardest challenge yet: the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.

@FlyersAtlantic Thought you might appreciate a photo of the original Atlantic Flyer before it became Atlantic Warrior in 2001. Safe journey to you @ForceAtlantic @SaltySappers and all the crews @ACampaigns 2021 from a fellow Atlantic Warrior.

Much of Eleanor's childhood was spent in and out of hospital as she underwent treatments relating to her liver disease and transplant.
Fortunately, play resources provided by Starlight were there to entertain Eleanor during her treatments and transform her hospital experience.
