Story

Team Bacon is made up of a number of people, who are undertaking numerous challenges over 7 months in memory of Martin Bacon, who died in 2013 from a brain tumour. We're raising money for the incredible hospice, Thorpe Hall, where he received his palliative care in his final few weeks. As many of you know, Martin was an inspirational head teacher at Swavesey Village College and is still sadly missed by staff, students, friends and family.
