How far!!!!!!!

Well, as most of my Facebook friends know already, I've signed up to run the Silverstone half marathon, in March 2014.
As far as I am lead to believe it takes place, at least to some extent, on the actual circuit, could be the slowest ever circumnavigation of a grand pix track in the history of slowest ever laps of a Grand Prix track.
One things for sure though, I intend enjoying myself. 
The family are coming with me to cheer me on, best they bring a book with them to while away the hours between seeing me off and watching a wreck of a man return back at the finish. Actually, I'm not sure who will be more tired, them through boredom, or me through exhaustion, we will see.
Anyway, I'm doing it for charity, and hope to be able to make a donation, with help from my friends, to Altzhimers UK via my just giving page, www.justgiving.com/sonofnesbit.
If you feel you can help and donate to this worthy cause that will be great.
I chose this charity as, in a roundabout way it was this that robbed me and Stuart of a wonderful mother back in 2012.
It also denied 3 grandchildren a grandmother who never really got the chance to show how great she was going to be as a nan. I feel absolutely confident that, had mum still been with us, we wouldn't have been seeing much of our daughter, she'd have been round nan's most of the time, and mum would have loved every second of it, as that's the sort of women she was. Caring, kind, considerate and fun. She loved a laugh and would have loved spoiling the grandchildren and then giving them back.
Unfortunately it was not to be, as she had hardly started out on the nan route before being struck down with dementia. Help me to help Altzhimers UK find a cure by making a small donation if you can to this worthy charity, via my amble round a racetrack.
