Now the youngster, from Ossett, Wakefield, is a thriving teenager, a 10 years after he underwent the organ transplant which saved his life.

Freddie's family is telling his story to mark Organ Donation Week which is taking place until September 28.

He was born with Alagille syndrome, a rare genetic condition which occurs in around one in 30,000 live births.

It can affect different parts of the body including the liver, heart, kidneys, eyes, face and bones.

In Freddie's case, it was his liver which was initially worst affected.

"Freddie was six months old when he was diagnosed with Alagilles," says his mum, Emma.
