A man who was "hours away from dying" as a child at Alder Hey now raises money to give back to the hospital that saved his life.
Ian Shennan, from St Helens, was taken to Whiston Hospital by his mum Michelle Lever when he was around two years old, suffering with jaundice. After some tests, the toddler was rushed to Alder Hey and into the operating theatre -where he underwent a six hour surgery after it was discovered he had peritonitis.
Mum, Michelle, told the ECHO: "We took him to Whiston and they thought it was a chest infection at first, but rang Alder Hey as a precaution.
