BIG-HEARTED brothers tackled a five-mile run to raise funds for adults with learning difficulties.

George and Liam Otton, 11 and 10, got on their marks to help the Sunrise Gateway Club in Weymouth.

They were inspired to join the fundraising drive for a new minibus after helping their grandmother Carol Grant volunteer at the club. The boys hope to raise more than £150 towards the £18,000 target.

Keen athlete George had the bright idea and persuaded his little brother Liam to join in.

Club leader Shirley Snell said: "The boys have been fantastic. It is really great to think that they are doing something for adults with learning difficulties."

After three years the club, which has more than 60 members, has now almost reached its fundraising target for a new minibus.

Mrs Snell added: "We will continue fundraising to keep the minibus on the road."

Sunrise Gateway Club meets at the Park Church Centre, Chelmsford Street, on Thursday evenings from 7.30 to 9.30pm.
