Staff from a Barrow school helped raise £700 in memory of a colleague who died from Motor Neurone Disease.
Dawn Hubbold was an assistant headteacher at Ormsgill School and had worked there for 17 years. She was also the school’s special educational needs and disabilities co-ordinator.
She died earlier this year just months after being diagnosed with MND.
Mike Wilkinson, a supply teacher and worked alongside Dawn at the school, organised a comedy night at Cartmel Village Hall in August to raise money for the charity.
Jessica Corless was among the staff supporting the event and said it had been a perfect tribute.
She said: “Dawn was such a funny person and we were always giggling. She and her husband Pete went to see one of Mike’s stand-up comedy shows a few years ago at the Duke of Edinburgh so it seemed fitting to raise money doing something that she enjoyed.
“She was a huge part of our daily lives and we miss her every day. It is great that people are continuing to remember the impact she had on the whole community by raising money for a charity that helped her and her family.”
