Fantastic day at Silverstone

We had a fab day at Silverstone collecting money for GOSH, it was hard work asking people to donate and the heat was HOT HOT HOT!.We started collecting at 8:30 till about 11:30 and had a short break then for another hour till lunch, we then watched the race just by the pit lane exit at the front. Just before the race finshed we headed to the eating areas and started collecting again till 4 pm.Most people were very happy to donate though there was the odd one or two that took offence but in total, Sarah and i collected £529!!, some woman even asked Sarah to lift her top and she would donate £100, sadly she didnt lol.We were very tired when we left, our legs were aching and Sarah's legs were burnt cos of the sun but it was well worth it as it was very rewarding to raise so much.One woman collected nearly £600 just by herself!!, we don't know how much was collected in total but it's A LOT!.It was also good to see some of the patients too, they got to go to the pits and meet some of the drivers, there was one little boy wearing a Mclaren drivers suit, his mum kept asking him to take it off as it was so hot but he said "no, people will think im a driver" lol.
