Alyssa-Hope Fincher, who is seven-years-old, attends the Sir Martin Frobisher Academy in Frobisher Drive, Jaywick. Since the summer, the young fighter has battled leukaemia and is now preparing to finish the final, intensive phase of her treatment. After she has recovered, she will return to her school studies full-time following the Easter holidays. Her father, Adam Fincher, said: “She is doing really well with her treatment, fighting it well and so far hasn’t had any setbacks. “Alyssa is now entering the maintenance phase of her treatment and isn’t letting it get to her and is just getting on with it.
