A dad has completed a run along the length of the M1 to raise money for a diabetes charity.

Jamie Austin has spent The Last 10 days following a 220-mile (354 kilometre) route from Leeds to London on Back Roads and footpaths parallel to the motorway.

Nottingham-born Mr Austin finished the southbound challenge on Saturday.

He has raised More Than £11,000 for JDRF charity which researches type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Hurting pretty badly

The 49-year-old Notts County fan was motivated to do The Run .

He set off on 23 January and admitted it had become harder and harder Every Day .

He Said : " I started at a pretty good pace and kept it up but, by day five, my knee was hurting pretty badly and I though that might derail the whole thing.

" I was able to strap it up though and carry on. "

Mr Austin, who stopped at Notts County's Meadow Lane ground part way through his route to complete a few laps of The Pitch , said: " People's support has been incredible - especially from the T1D community who I have got to know.

" And Then there have been The People who I met along The Way . On Day One I met a guy out running and we ran together for 10 or 15 Minutes before parting ways.

" I later found he'd looked me up on Google and donated some money. That was just amazing. "

After finishing The Run at his home in East Finchley , Mr Austin said: " It's been pretty hard but I'm glad I did it - and glad that I've been able to raise a lot of money to support The Amazing work the JDRF does. "

Henry said: " Dad has been brilliant. I'm glad he did this but it's great to have him home. "
