Freddie's
Friends

In memory of Freddie Appleyard.
A website to help disabled children and their families.

What we do

We set up Freddie's Friends in 2008 in memory of our lovely son. In the years since, with the help of our wonderful fundraisers, donors and sponsors, Freddie's have been able to provide specialist equipment, support and respite for disabled children and their families.

    Harley is a beautiful 20 month old little boy who has lots of problems. He is battling Alexander Disease which is so rare only Harley and another boy in Korea has it. Harley's Mum and Dad, Jodie and Mike, want to take him to Eurodisney in September for him to meet Mickey and Minnie, and maybe take away his worries for a while. Freddie's Friends have donated £200 to Harley to make his wish come true x
