Jacob has completed a run with Olympic track and field star, Christine Ohuruogu.
He is running a-mile-a-day for 50 days for charity and said he was glad to have some company. He said his run was inspired by seeing reports of other youngsters raising money.
Jacob told ITV News Anglia: “I saw a little boy on telly running a mile and thought I really wanted to do that.”

A message from Murad, one of our fabulous Ambassadors.
Hollie’s family and Avril together with all the Princesses at lovely Hollie’s Princess Party Dream in August 2021.
In January 2008, Avril Mills BEM founded The Dream Factory in memory of her son, Oliver, who fought leukaemia for six years and sadly died aged only nine years old.
The suffering of a child affects the whole family, which is why Avril decided to start The Dream Factory in order to brighten the lives of other families with similar difficulties and create lasting memories for them.
This year, we’re celebrating a fantastic milestone – we have granted over 500 dreams. To mark this achievement, we have created our 500 Gold Club to encourage participation in our wonderful project.
