You may have had to push a car to get is started but not many people would they's ever get a chance to pull a plane.

Today at Liverpool John Lennon Airport teams from local businesses competed against each other to see who could pull a Boeing 737 the furthest in a minute.

The back-breaking task was all for a good cause, the event was to raise money for Alder Hey Children's hospital.

Corporate fundraiser for Alder Hey Children's Hospital Katy Armitage said: "We're so grateful to have lots of amazing teams here. All the money raised today will be providing equipment for our new surgical neonatal unit.

"In particular they'll be raising money for a brand new ventilator and a new retinal camera so it means we can care for some of our smallest and some of our most vulnerable patients at Alder Hey."
