FIVE Bolton bakery workers aim to muscle in with a touching bid to help a colleague and his wife pay for their IVF treatment.

The men, who work for Peter Hunts Bakery, Kearsley, will be taking part in a 32 tonne sponsored weightlift.

They hope to raise a "hefty" amount towards the £1,983 needed for the Harper Green couple's fertility treatment.

Dougie Ainsworth, Alan Norton, Ian Flanaghan, Peter Mann and Peter Workman will be taking part in the weightlift tomorrow afternoon and will be lifting 100 pound weights at a time, in a bid to reach their target weight in about two hours.

The event takes place in H 'n' H Gym in Longcauseway, Farnworth.
