Running Costs

A DAD in training to raise funds for a local charity has pledged to do ‘whatever it takes’ to get in shape for his 5km run.

Father of two, Thomas Doyle, 36, who has no health problems whatsoever, started training for his 5km run six months ago. “I’ve been going probably two or three times a month overall, although I was slow starting and recently I’ve eased off a bit. It still shows how committed I am to this good cause though.

“I’ll probably have to walk a good deal of the 5km to be honest, but as long as I get round, that’s the main thing.”

If Thomas manages to get round the 5km course, he stands to make £12,000 for the Institute of Hard Times Supportmanship, a new charity that has been set up to comfort the financially secure at times of bad business deals.

Thomas said: “There’s a lot of caring for the needy these days, but most of them just steal from you and then take heroin. People forget that there are hard-working people out there who occasionally find themselves going through a hard time with work.

“How many of the needy have lost potential six figure contracts with clients? None. It’s about time somebody recognised that fact and supported the victims. It’s no good consoling them. They need cold, hard cash.”
