Marilyn's off the buses and ready to walk for charity

A member of the team which runs buses in Rotherham is set to use a more basic form of transport to raise charity funds.

Stagecoach Yorkshire’s Marilyn Gibson, a garage operations clerk, is set to walk in support of Alzheimer’s Society.

The 79-year-old has taken on a walking challenge every year for nine years after her husband was struck by the disease.

She aims to complete the Clumber Park Memory Walk on September 20.

Marilyn has already raised £150.

Donations can be made at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/clumberparkmw26-marilyngibson.

She said: “My husband, of 60 years suffers from Alzheimer’s and it’s a cruel disease, so I wanted to do something regularly to play a part in finding a cure.

“The result has been that, once a year, I do a Memory Walk to raise more funds, in the hope that they will discover something to prevent future suffering.”
