Sheffield Half Marathon - 13.1 Hilly Miles – Jack & Jack Run for Transport 17

This year, two incredible supporters — Jack Martin and Jack Lucas — are taking on the Sheffield Half Marathon to raise funds for Transport 17.. That’s 13.1 tough, hilly miles. But they’re not just running for a medal.They’re running for connection.

Every week, Transport 17 helps older and vulnerable members of our community travel to lunch clubs, dementia cafés and social groups across Sheffield. For many of our passengers, that journey is the highlight of their week — a chance to see friends, share laughter and feel part of something again.

Connection often starts the moment they step onto the minibus, greeted by a friendly driver, chatting with familiar faces, knowing they are expected and welcomed.

But demand is growing and our buses are ageing.

This year, we need to raise £90,000 for a new minibus to keep these vital journeys going. Without it, fewer people will be able to access the friendships and social connections that protect their wellbeing and independence.

As Jack and Jack climb Sheffield’s hills and push through every mile, they’re running so no one is left sitting at home alone.

If you can, please support their challenge and help us reach our £90,000 goal:
