Book your place Freddie's Story Last year, our special guest speaker was Emma McDonald, mum to Freddie and passionate supporter of Leeds Children’s Hospital. Freddie was born with Alagille Syndrome, a rare condition affecting his liver and heart. He underwent a life-saving liver transplant and heart surgery aged three. A 16-hour heart operation and two weeks in intensive care followed a year later. Now 12, he continues treatment at Leeds Children’s Hospital and inspires everyone with his positivity. As part of The Leeds Bear Hunt, he raised over £11,000 for the hospital and, in 2024, received the Rob Burrow-inspired Dare to Dream Award at the Yorkshire Children of Courage Awards - a true testament to his bravery and hope. Barbara Rider, Chair of the Ball Committee has supported Leeds Hospitals Charity for the past 17 years, and previously organised the White Rose Cancer Ball, she said: "I have been fundraising for over a decade and I still get the same feeling of excitement to support Leeds Hospitals Charity and I am grateful to see the impact raising vital funds has on the young patients and their families within the Children’s Hospital."
