Freya Lewis was just three metres away from the terrorist who detonated the bomb at the Manchester Arena on the night of 22nd May 2017. Her best friend Nell, who she'd been linking arms with at the time, was tragically killed, but Freya - thrown forward by the blast - somehow survived. She suffered 29 separate injuries, was in a coma for five days, in a wheelchair for three months and there wasn't a part of her body that didn't suffer the effects of shrapnel. Yet 70 hours of surgery and just 12 months later, she was on her feet, running the Junior Great Manchester Run and raising £60,000 for the hospital that saved her. Freya is now 16 and wants to tell her story - a story of the amazing emergency services and doctors who saved her life, and of how the attack has changed her.
