Sheffield drivers to run city bus route to raise funds for cancer support
A Sheffield bus operator is stepping up its efforts to support people living with cancer, with a coffee morning and two of its team getting set to take on an endurance running challenge.
Stagecoach Yorkshire is backing Macmillan Cancer Support and will hold a coffee morning at its Holbrook Depot, on Rother Valley Way in the city.
Meanwhile, bus drivers Billy Ingersoll and Yeuk Hei Ko will be carrying out a sponsored run around the 'Inner Circle' Route 10 in Sheffield the following day, Thursday, September 24.
They will be departing from Manor Top Interchange at 9.30am and are hoping to raise at least £500.

Macmillan Cancer Support provides services for people living with cancer at every stage of their cancer experience, such as the Macmillan Support Line, which offers confidential support to people living with cancer and their loved ones.
They also offer Cancer nurses and information and support advisers, as well as an interpreter service. Meanwhile, the Macmillan Buddies service matches people with a trained volunteer for a weekly telephone or video call.
Shayne Howarth, Duty Manager at Stagecoach's Holbrook Depot, said: “This charity is very close to the hearts of a lot of people at the depot, so I hope that everyone will want to get behind this effort.
“At Stagecoach, our team have a wonderful history of putting in the effort to support charities that are important to our customers. I am proud to see the depot continuing that tradition.”
