Download Manchester Arena Survivor – Freya Lewis

Presenter Isy Suttie speaks to Freya Lewis, who was a victim of the Manchester Arena attack in 2017 after attending the Ariana Grande concert. Freya spent five and a half weeks in hospital and suffered 29 separate injuries from the attack.

With her Dad’s help, they started a fundraising page to give something back to the hospital that helped save her life. During her recovery Freya learned to walk again and went on to run the Manchester Children’s Run, then completed the full Manchester 10K in 2019, all to help raise even more money for Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Freya talks about the obstacles she overcame during recovery, a visit from Ariana Grande, her love for Harry Styles and her fundraising mission.

This is how Freya is changing the world…
