Using their love of cars to help others, this father and son duo are calling on the public to help them on their mission.

Iain Craig started to run the social media accounts for 'Jacob's Supercars' for his five-year-old son Jacob who is obsessed with supercars.

Already the East Belfast schoolboy has almost 30,000 fans between his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Now 41-year-old Iain is in the middle of organising another car run, this time to help raise money for 12-year-old Jack Milton.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Iain said: "Jack is from Birmingham and has been following Jacob on Instagram ever since he started.

"We just found out a few months ago he had been diagnosed with cancer, he has bowel cancer and his father has it too. It's a genetically inherited condition called Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

"He is the only one out of his siblings who has it.

"We are hoping to bring him and his dad Dave over for the run and we are going to get a supercar organised to take them out and around.

"We are also collecting donations and we want to give something to the family. Something similar was organised in Birmingham for them and they raised £10,000.

"We would like to raise something from the people of Belfast for them."

The third Renegade Run is taking place on Sunday, June 5, and at least 500 people are expected to take part.

Iain added: "We are having a meet up before we actually go on the run for an hour so people can come and see the cars and get a look around at Sprucefield Park and Ride. Morgan Cars in Warrenpoint are sending some supercars and Momentum Motorsports in Lisbrun are sending down a few supercars as well.

"We are trying to raise as much money and awareness for the disease as we can."
