Huddersfield brothers’ charity weight-train

Nov 23 2009 By Anne-Marie Senior

TWO BROTHERS are warming up to take part in a 12-hour weight-training challenge.

Kyle and Bradley Ward hope to raise more than £1,000 for good causes when they flex their muscles non-stop later this month.

The pair will be taking part in the gruelling mission at Maloney’s gym in Marsh this Friday.

Kyle, 41, of Linthwaite, came up with idea to raise money for his eight-year-old godson Kyle Crossland.

The Lancashire youngster suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy – a deadly muscle wasting illness.

Dad-of-three Kyle hopes to raise enough cash to send his godson on the holiday of a lifetime to Florida.

He said: “I work with children who have the same disease so have got a good understanding about how Kyle’s illness is going to progress.

“It is likely he will be confined to a wheelchair in the next two years.

“Once that happens life is going to become so different.

“I want to get him to Florida to swim with the dolphins while he can really appreciate them.

“I just want to do something for him.”
