The father of a four-year-old boy who had to be flown to the UK for medical treatment after swallowing a battery is preparing to take a leap of faith to raise money for the hospital which cared for him.
Kaiden Taylor spent four weeks at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool after ingesting the button battery in July last year.

In April his dad Ryan, and his best friend Daniel Kinrade, are going to skydive in an attempt to raise £2,000 as a way of giving something back:
'"They do so much work for children and families from the Island.' - Daniel Kinrade

The duo will take part in 'The Big Jump' on Saturday, 27 April.
