HE may have torn a ligament in his foot, but Jake Parker is determined to complete this year's Rainbow Run at Locke Park - even if he has to hobble the course on crutches.
Jake, of Park Road, Barnsley, was devastated when he tripped down five stairs last month and had to pull out of the Sheffield half marathon - and so he vowed to take on the Rainbow Run instead.
The run is organised by Barnsley Hospital Charity and involves people walking, running or dancing their way around a 1k or 5k course on May 17 as they are covered in paint in every colour of the rainbow.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
