Jamie Austin raised more than £11,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by taking on the 'slightly scary challenge'. He was cheered by friends and family as he completed the 220-mile route from Garforth near Leeds, West Yorkshire, to Brent Cross in London.
Mr Austin's son Henry, 12, was diagnosed with type 1in June 2020. He wanted to raise awareness of the condition and let his son know how proud he was of him for dealing with the news"brilliantly".
He decided to run the length of the M1 because he and his son have had to drive along the motorway regularly since Henry joined a clinical trial at"I'm thrilled to have completed my hare-brained project. Despite the challenges, I have loved every minute," Mr Austin told the PA news agency. "It reminded me of the importance of just going for something. I don't have a running background and I really didn't know if I'd finish when I set off, but I am so pleased that I decided to take on a big, random and slightly scary challenge.
"More than anything, I am grateful to my whole family - including my brilliant 'road crew' mum and dad, my wife Rach and my kids Henry and Rosie for being my inspiration - my absolutely first-class friends for their amazing support, my lovely neighbours and school teams, and everyone who sponsored and supported me.
