A team led by a man whose son has previously undergone successful treatment for bowel cancer raised money for Cancer Research UK at the weekend.

The newly formed training and recruitment team at Stagecoach West’s Oxford depot took part in the charity's Race for Life event in Oxford on Sunday, June 30.

Both team leader Paul Green, and team member David Kemmett, have had family members affected by cancer.

Mr Kemmett’s wife, Chris, has received successful treatment for breast cancer.

Mr Green said: "We’ve all trained incredibly hard for Sunday’s Race for Life and we had an incredible day.

"We’re a relatively new team at work so this has been a wonderful way of getting to know each other and building great relationships."
