Mum dying of cancer denied school wish
A mother who is dying from cancer begged her council to let both her sons attend the same primary school - but had her request denied because she lives 100ft outside of the catchment area.
Michelle Amey, who was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2008 which has since spread all over her body, fears her family will struggle to cope with the strain of doing two school runs every day.
Her eldest son, nine-year-old Charlie, already attends Mudeford Junior School in Christchurch, Dorset.
