A wife will be joining three friends on a 100km trek around the Isle of Wight in memory of “the most amazing husband” who lost his battle with cancer.
Dan King, who taught at Cromwell Community College in Chatteris during his 15-year teaching career, died of melanoma skin cancer in January after being diagnosed in April 2017.
His wife, Sinead, has since decided to take on the two-day challenge this spring for The Christie, which provides services for more than 44,000 cancer patients each year, including melanoma.
“We have an expanded college site to be proud of and one which will serve our community well into the 21st century.
“By expanding our primary and pre-school provisions, we have become the first educational establishment in Cambridgeshire to provide education from 4 to 18 years old.
“Our talented team of teaching staff will be shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation of children and guiding them through their primary and secondary years.
“We just have a small part of the project to go before it’s fully complete and we now look ahead to a time when all our pupils can safely return to the school site so we can all celebrate together.
