Listeners will be able to tune into stories from the parents who use the Ronald McDonald House facilities.

Jack FM aim to raise awareness and funds for the charity which enables families to stay close by to their children in hospital.

The team will also set up a call centre to support donations being made to the charity – whilst more daring members have also agreed to jump out of a plane to help to raise funds.
