Freya Phillips is your normal, fun loving eleven year old Aussie kid.  She loves swimming, skating and soccer, and outside of school those sports dominate her life.

But a couple of years ago, Freya developed pains in her legs, meaning she couldn’t run and play with her friends.  That pain initially left doctors scratching their heads before she was diagnosed with a rare condition called miserable malalignment syndrome.

This is Freya's story of how hope got her through the recovery process, and how school chaplaincy was able to support Freya through that journey.
