Thanks for the brilliant response, including the anonymous donors I can’t thank personally. It’s really appreciated. 👍 ---

Yes. In response to your generosity, I thought it was only right to push myself, so I’ve gone mad and upped my cycling target to 150 miles and fundraising to £500, which was beyond my wildest dreams when I started. > **[Geoff's Sober October and 150 mile cycle](https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/geoffsoul)** > > Help Geoffrey Soul raise money to support Epilepsy Society Big thanks to all those who’ve already been so generous. ---

> **[Geoff's Sober October and 150 mile cycle](https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/geoffsoul)** > > Help Geoffrey Soul raise money to support Epilepsy Society A final thank you to all those who supported me. Five weeks sober and 150 miles cycled in October. Got fitter and lost weight too! £600 raised for epilepsy research. Pleased with that. ---

Whilst Kid Goat is isolating (college covid contact) and thoroughly bored I have managed to talk her into doing her bit for the Southampton Hospital Charity by chucking herself out of an airplane at 2.8 miles up! I will be cheering her on (laughing at her shitting herself) and then following her out. All donations gratefully received. I will get it videoed this time!

The Giving is Saintly fundraising page has been closed by JustGiving (presumably because of inactivity/target being reached). My daughter’s skydive page (collecting for the same charity) link is above if anyone would like to plop their Euro sweepstake money in there 😉 Just message me when done and I will keep track of who is in and paid up. Alternatively you can message me and I can give you my bank details for a transfer. I can then settle up with the winner however they like (within reason/bounds of decency/legality). Link below too.
