A father hopes his slightly mad idea to run the length of the M1 will help to raise awareness for type 1 diabetes, following his son's diagnosis during the pandemic.Jamie Austin, who lives in East Finchley, told the PA news agency that his 12-year-old son Henry's type 1 diabetes diagnosis in June 2020 acted as the catalyst behind the M1 challenge, which he is to start on January 23 at Garforth (the last M1 junction) and complete on February 4 at junction 1 by Brent Cross.
