Men weigh in to good cause

NINE brave Waterford businessmen have begun their very own Operation Transformation by throwing their weight behind a campaign to raise funds for cancer patients.

They’re now a week into the challenge and have been banned from pubs, take-away premises and cake stores in a calorie-counting marathon they must keep up until March 31.
