A one-year-old child born with a rare condition has been announced as the honorary 41st runner in next week’s Randox Grand National.
Frankie and his mother Jessica will be guests at Aintree after receiving their tickets for the world famous race from record-breaking jockey Rachael Blackmore.
Frankie was diagnosed with gastroschisis and was born with his bowels on the outside of his stomach which meant he had to undergo surgery within hours of birth at the world renowned Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.
