Sir Donald has had to confront much sadness in his personal life, which perhaps strengthened his resolve to remain a private person.
His son, John, born in 1939, three years after the death of the Bradman's infant son, was afflicted by poliomyelitis was a young teenager. He made a full recovery from the virus but continued to suffer because he was the son of Don Bradman.
In 1972 John changed his name by deed poll. At that time Sir Donald said: "Only those who have to live with the incessant strain of publicity can have any idea of its impact".
Daughter Shirley was born with cerebral palsy. Lady Bradman, who had heart bypass surgery .. and her husband have had periods of indifferent and poor health.
