The family of a baby boy rushed to hospital when he was two-weeks-old has raised thousands for Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
Fifteen years ago, Chris Acton's son Joe was born prematurely and spent several weeks at Ormskirk Hospital. But after returning home, at just two weeks old he was "unable to keep food down" and was rushed to Alder Hey hospital for surgery.
That is when Chris and his family discovered the Ronald McDonald House - a charity that provides a place to sleep, cook and retain some sense of normal life, a lifeline for families at a very stressful time. Despite only being supported for a short period of time, Chris was so moved by their care that he pledged to give back to them.
