James Frey son

James Frey, an American writer who wrote the best sell books A Million Little Pieces (2003) and My Friend Leonard (2005), writes very touching essay about losing his young son.

“When I think of (RED), I think of Leo, and I think of the children who are dying. I think of the pain and misery their families will feel when they are gone. I think of what my wife and I have felt and lived with and experienced and I never want anyone else to have to experience the same things.

I think of the fact, and it is a fact, that many of these children could be helped and saved and given life. They can find their dreams and pursue them. They can know joy and beauty and love. They can take their first steps and learn their first words and go to school and have their first dates. My son never got to do any of those things.”

In celebration of World Aids Day, Frey and Bugaboo stroller company teamed up to create a one-of-a-kind stroller that is up for bid on eBay now.

And 100% of the proceeds will go to the Global Fund which finances AIDS grants in Africa.
