A teenager who almost died is taking part in a skydive to raise cash for the hospital that saved his life.
Harvey Ackerley, from Warrington, underwent major heart surgery at Alder Hey after passing out in his bedroom. Harvey, 16, was found by his mum Gemma and rushed to hospital.
When he got to Warrington hospital it was discovered that his appendix had burst and that was the reason for his collapse. Doctors ran some routine tests as part of his treatment, but soon spotted an abnormality in them.
