The Chasetown FC Juniors under 11 team

A junior sports team in Burntwood are swapping their football boots for running shoes to take part in a fundraising activity.

The Chasetown FC Juniors under 11 squad are taking on the Great Birmingham Run in May.

A spokesperson said they were hoping to raise £1,000 to be split between the club and a charity.

> “The boys are taking part in the junior run and the coaches and parents are doing the 10k or half marathon.  
>  
> “We are running to raise funds not only for our team, but also so that 50% can be sent the National Autistic Society.”

People can donate to their fundraising efforts [online](https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-run-for-autism-society-chasetown-juniors-u11?member=16767199&sharetype=teams&utm%5Fcampaign=p%5Fna+share-sheet&utm%5Fmedium=copy%5Flink&utm%5Fsource=customer).
