He did it!

Jeff reached his goal. For more details, check out his own post.

And since we at home were a touched confused by the use of the word "gallant" I decided to look it up. Here are the definitions:

Smartly or boldly stylish; dashing.
Unflinching in battle or action; valiant.
Nobly or selflessly resolute.
Courteously attentive especially to women; chivalrous.
Flirtatious; amorous.
Stately; majestic.
A fashionable young man.
A man courteously attentive to women.
A woman's lover; a paramour.

We hope Jeff isn't a flirtatious paramour (although he should be courteous and chivalrous and asking young ladies out on dates!) but he is definitely dashing and valiant and resolute, so I guess the description works.
