The Stowaway storybook launch was a massive success, with all of the 100 signed pre-ordered copies sold online and over £2000 made on the day!🎉
It was fantastic to see @FlyersAtlantic's Phil Holdcroft, and his lovely daughter and the book’s inspiration, Isla, join the launch.

Did you notice @HoldcroftPhilip get surprised by @antanddec on #SaturdayNightTakeaway? He’s off to Orlando tomorrow - crossing the Atlantic the easy way this time!
He’d be back in time for the book launch (29 April!) at @RAFWaddington!

We’re getting a few of the illustrations by @Lilystration for the new book!
Don’t worry @TaliskerWhisky! Our stowaway from @ACampaigns #TWAC22 didn’t touch a drop! He was just admiring the bottles long neck 🙄

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.

“To achieve that end state, that vision, we had to absolutely #trust that each of us was committed physically, emotionally and financially.” The incredible story of how the @FlyersAtlantic achieved their joint aims. #CASLC22

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

We’re proud to be counted amongst them and looking forward to 21 Sep!

Really enjoyed doing this podcast! Hope you all get to enjoy it too!
Getting so nostalgic we’re almost jealous of the @ACampaigns class of 22! Almost 😉

Morning friends!
If you recall, we took a @Giraffesontour Geoffrey the giraffe across the @ACampaigns in memory of @iangiraffes daughter Louise (her favourite toy.)
You can now buy the first book and support @GOSHCharity! Incredible work by @CarrieKAuthor and @Lilystration!

We’ve been reflecting on the lessons we got out of it and can’t wait to share them and maybe inspire future @ACampaigns rowers!

Incredibly disappointing, but clearly the correct call.
We hope all the @aircadets will each learn this valuable lesson about when you have to be brave enough to stop.
Hold your head high Emma, and we look forward to catching up soon.

At approx 15:00 GMT on 14 Feb,
after battling rough seas and critical electrical failures for 36 hours,
having lost 1 solar panel, power from both batteries and safety-critical AIS..
and 400 miles from land,
Emma made the incredibly difficult decision to abandon her row.
