Ian Gedling from Newton aycliffe, is hoping to raise £2,000 for the North East Autistic Society in this year’s Great North Run.
The society, which is a registered charity, offers outreach support to many families of children with autism, giving them a much needed break, even for a few hours week.
Ian said: “They have been a fantastic support to my son and family over the last few years and it is my way of giving something back”.
