Freddie's Fight
Freddie Thompson, aged three, from Ampleforth, was diagnosed with aggressive neuroblastoma last summer and his family are trying to raise £250,000 to send him to America for pioneering treatment.
The treatment could reduce the chance of Freddie's cancer returning to 30 per cent- currently there is a 50 per cent chance and the survival rate is low.
Freddie's Family are local to the Yorkshire True Grit Team and we see it as fitting to support this charity in 2019. The Charity Number is 1135601.
