A WIDNES fundraiser got a huge honour ahead of a massive summer occasion.

Aidan Jackson was selected to be a baton bearer in the Commonwealth Games baton relay.

He took part in the event at Knowsley Safari Park on Sunday ahead of the event in Birmingham which starts on Thursday.

Aidan was nominated because of his continued fundraising for community defibrillators in the Halton area, Aidan is currently fundraising for his 25th community defibrillator.

He has raised almost £40k for defibrillators for the Halton community since August 2018.

And now he is hoping to reach a total of 25 despite having his own health difficulties, including AHD, asperges and epilepsy.
