A fundraiser has been set up to support the grieving family of Harry Kinney-Ryan.
Harry was a month short of his 14th birthday when he was knocked down by a car on East Lancashire Road, in Croxteth on December 7. After some time in Alder Hey Children's Hospital, the schoolboy died of his injuries on December 9.
In a Facebook post, his heartbroken mum Liz Ryan said: "As you all know my Harry has passed away. I didn't know I could feel this many emotions, I've never felt so broken but proud of my baby boy. We did choose for Harry to be an organ donor so as it stands my baby is a hero. So as he grew up wishing to be a superhero my boy got exactly what he wanted."

His sister Molly Ryan said: "I’m so proud and broken at the same time. My Harry I’m so so proud of you."
A Merseyside Police spokesman this morning confirmed that a 34-year-old man, who was arrested following the crash, remains on bail pending further inquiries.
Detective sergeant Andy Roper, from Merseyside Police's matrix serious collision investigation unit, said: "Harry’s family are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers as our enquiries continue and our thoughts are with them at this sad time.
"If you were travelling on the East Lancashire Road around the time of the incident and have any dashcam footage that could help us with our investigation, or you have any CCTV or information please come forward."
