The Mellor family said Saul will finish his run by the Alder Hey and also said they recently used the services for their son.
They added: "Saul is running 45 miles from Whitchurch to Alder Hey on the 11th September to raise money for Alder Hey Children’s Charity.
"We recently had to use their services for our own little boy who under went major surgery and the support we received whilst there was unbelievable.
"So if we can give something back to them that would be amazing.
"Saul views a 45 mile run as an easy feat (although it will be very hard) compared to what our little boy has been though.
