This Saturday, 15-year-old Freya Bird takes on a 20-mile walk from Bridgwater to Wellington—not just for the challenge, but to honor a close friend who found comfort and care at Charlton Farm, a hospice supporting children with life-limiting conditions. Diagnosed with rare Moyamoya disease and recently recovering from brain surgery, Freya’s journey is fueled by gratitude, resilience, and a fierce desire to raise funds for the hospice that changed her friend’s final days. Accompanied by her dad, she’s already inspiring donors and touching hearts across the region, proving that even in the face of adversity, young people can lead with courage, compassion, and an unstoppable spirit.
