Team Bacon is made up of a number of people, including the children of Martin Bacon, Jess and Josh, who have and continue to undertake numerous challenges in memory of Martin , 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.Martin was an inspirational head teacher at Swavesey Village College and co-founder of the Meridian Trust (formerly CMAT). He is greatly missed by his family, friends, staff and students.

Martin's legacy lives on in all who knew him and we are passionate about supporting the incredible work of Sue Ryder in his memory.Please donate if you can!
