A supergran will be strapping on her running shoes to take part in next month’s Wolverhampton Marathon.
Sporty Pat Wootton, aged 70, is gearing up for the relay event to help raise money for charity to help her autistic grandson.
The grandmother-of-seven keeps herself fit by playing tennis every week and last completed the Great North Run in 2006. She will be leading the relay team on September 7 and will share the 13.1-mile course with two of her granddaughters, her daughter-in-law and a friend of the family.
Money raised will be going towards the National Autistic Society (NAS).
Pat, of Tettenhall, and a former medical secretary at Nuffield Hospital, decided to organise the run because her 12-year-old grandson Rupert Wellsbury has severe autism. Rupert attends Tettenhall Wood School.
Pat said: “We are keen to raise as much money as possible for the NAS.”
