The Charlie Mortimer Fund charity is holding a special auction at the Milton Rooms in Malton on 10th August.
The Fund was set up following the unexpected death of Charlie on August 15th 2009. Charlie had undiagnosed MCADD; a rare genetic condition where a person has problems breaking down fat to use as an energy source.
