Parents, friends and pupils of Pope Paul School in Potters Bar are rallying round in a bid to help the school's former deputy headteacher with his battle against cancer.
Andrew Delaloye, 42, who taught at the Baker Street school for eight years, was diagnosed with bone cancer more than a year ago and to help him in his recovery his family and friends are raising money so he can receive complementary treatments.
His sister, Catherine Daly, of Auckland Road, Potters Bar, explained: "The money that we have raised so far is all going towards treatment for the pain relief such as acupuncture and shiatsu.
"We are putting on a cabaret show at Pope Paul School with the help of The Association, a drama group who regularly perform at The Bull Theatre," she added.
Mrs Daly said the support for her brother has bowled over her entire family: "It's really kept us all going and it's incredible the amount of positive thinking it has given Andrew."
The show is taking place on November 10 at 8pm, tickets are priced at £10.
